CSU Scholarships

LSAMP - Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation

The California State University Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (CSU-LSAMP)  is a CSU wide academic support program that is supported by funds from the National Science Foundation and the CSU Chancellor's office. As a Professional Preparation Emphasis program, the goals of LSAMP at SFSU are to 1) increase the number of students who graduate with science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) degrees, targeting those who face or have faced social, educational or economic barriers to careers in STEM and 2) to provide resources to make such students more competitive applicants to STEM PhD programs. In the LSAMP program SFSU, we employ several strategies to meet this goal including: 

A Textbook Reimbursement Program*: LSAMP participants can receive partial reimbursement for eligible textbooks each academic year. 

Research Support*: LSAMP participants who are conducting research with an SFSU STEM faculty member can receive a stipend to help in research activities and attending scientific conferences. 

Professional Training*: LSAMP participants can also participate in a series of workshops focused on developing skills that will better prepare you for a research career. The workshops focus on topics such as communicating your science to various audiences, developing presentation skills, learning how to read the scientific literature--all skills anyone who aspires to be a successful scientist will have to master. 

Other opportunities*: There are also opportunities available through the CSU state-wide network. 

(*Restrictions and limitations apply. Please contact Dr. Fuse (fuse@sfsu.edu), the SFSU Campus Coordinator, for details) 

Deadline: None, applications are accepted on a rolling basis
