LSAMP PROGRAM BENEFITS



Approximately twenty (20) students are selected to participate in the LSAMP program each academic year. LSAMP student participants, who are assigned both faculty and student mentors, engage in research (REU) and participate in technical internships, especially during the summer. Participants are provided financial incentives, such as book scholarships, gift cards, and special awards and recognitions, to excel in their studies.
