Grant to help underrepresented students interested in STEM careers
Utica College has been awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support increasing the number of students from underrepresented minorities earning bachelors’ degrees in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
Utica College is part of the Central New York Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) that includes a handful of schools throughout upstate New York, including Ithaca College, SUNY Cortland, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Tompkins Cortland Community College and Herkimer College. This alliance of small schools has two primary goals: to expand high-impact practices enabling underrepresented minority students to experience the maximum benefits of STEM education in a small school environment, and to strengthen transfer pathways to the STEM baccalaureate for underrepresented minority (URM) students who begin at a community college.
