LSAMP and STEM Fields

What is LSAMP?

The IINSPIRE LSAMP mission is to:

  • Develop a model for Midwest colleges and universities to attract students into STEM fields.
  • Attract students from other regions to STEM education opportunities in Iowa, Illinois, and Nebraska.

This will be accomplished through the following strategies:

  • Grow the pool of college ready, STEM-prepared high school students.
  • Increase the number of students who choose STEM at each IINSPIRE Alliance institution.
  • Improve retention at all IINSPIRE Alliance institutions.

The program is open to undergraduate students who meet the following requirements:

  • United States citizen or permanent resident.
  • College GPA of 2.5 or high school GPA of 2.7.
  • Major in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) discipline.
