LHVCCUC Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Program

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the Lower Hudson Valley Catholic Colleges and Universities Consortium Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Program (LHVCCUC LSAMP Program) aims to help address the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce pipeline challenges by helping to increase the numbers of students from historically underrepresented minority (URM) populations to complete high-quality degree programs in STEM. Eligible majors at St. Francis College are biology, chemistry, mathematics, information technology, computer science, radiologic science, and exercise science.

The LHVCCUC LSAMP Program is an extension of the LHVCCUC, a consortium comprising ten private Catholic colleges and universities across New York State. The LHVCCUC LSAMP project encompasses seven institutions: Molloy University, Manhattan College, Mount Saint Mary College, St. John's University, St. Joseph's University New York, and St. Thomas Aquinas College.

The application deadline for students is August 28.
