Since the launch of the Peach State LSAMP alliance in 2006, there has been a 325% increase in enrollment of students from underrepresented groups in STEM fields and a 550% increase in the number of these students graduating with baccalaureate degrees in STEM at UGA alone. “We greatly appreciate the National Science Foundation’s continued support of this successful alliance.” “As Georgia’s flagship public institution, we are proud to lead the Peach State LSAMP, which has created new opportunities for thousands of students statewide,” said UGA President Jere W. Initiatives include summer research programs, GRE test preparation, faculty mentor programs, academic planning and advising seminars, tutoring and K-12 outreach, and STEM career planning.įaculty, staff and students at UGA are joined in this alliance by their counterparts at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State University-Perimeter College, Kennesaw State University and two historically black universities: Fort Valley State University and Savannah State University.

The initiative provides academic enrichment, professional development, financial support, peer and faculty mentoring, and research opportunities for students. The National Science Foundation has awarded the University of Georgia $2.5 million to expand the Peach State Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) – a coalition of six public colleges and universities in Georgia formed to increase the number of underrepresented students statewide who complete undergraduate and advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. A highly successful UGA-led statewide alliance has just received a major boost in federal funding to increase participation in STEM fields among students from underrepresented groups.
