LSAMP’s Mission
The long-term objective of the WPI LSAMP Scholars Program emerges out of the National Science Foundation’s vision of LSAMP as a critical resource for high-potential historically under-represented students with a passion and commitment to become industry and academic leaders in STEM areas. Our goal is to increase the numbers of African American, Latino/a, Native American, and other historically under-represented students graduating with baccalaureate degrees in STEM fields of study through creating a supportive community, offering academic support and guidance, and providing access to resources on and off campus.
