Special Programs and Opportunities

The New York City Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (NYC-LSAMP)

The NYC-LSAMP program in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) is an alliance of 16 CUNY colleges and the CUNY Graduate Center. The goal of the program is to ensure a long-term capacity to produce significantly greater numbers of individuals from groups underrepresented in STEM careers through lasting changes achieved at participating institutions. The program offers financial support for undergraduate and graduate education and opportunities to be part of faculty-supervised research teams at Brooklyn College.

Eligible students must:

  • be U.S. citizens or permanent residents admitted to full-time study at Brooklyn College;

  • be a member of a group underrepresented in science research, including, but not limited to, African Americans, Native Americans and Hispanics;

  • be in a major or program in a STEM discipline; and

  • have a GPA of 3.00 or higher. For more information, visit the LSAMP website or contact the program activity coordinator, 141 Ingersoll Hall Extension, 718.951.4346. Deadline for summer and fall application is May 1; deadline for spring application is December 1.
