LSAMP

The IINSPIRE LSAMP mission is to:

• develop a model for Midwest colleges and universities to attract the states' growing underrepresented minority (URM) population 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 URM high school students
• Increase the number of URM 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
