The Louis Stokes South Carolina Alliance for Minority Participation: A Senior Alliance Enhancing Opportunities to Transition Students Into Successful STEM Pathways

南卡罗来纳州路易斯·斯托克斯少数族裔参与联盟(LS-SCAMP)旨在提高少数族裔学生(URM)的质量和数量，这些学生完成科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)学科的学士学位，并成功过渡到攻读高级STEM研究生学位。LS-SCAMP由南卡罗来纳州立大学与南卡罗来纳州的六所历史悠久的黑人学院和大学(HBCU)、五所技术学院和三家研究机构合作组成。这些项目的目标是加强招生计划，将STEM招生人数增加30%，将STEM学士学位产量在第一阶段成绩(5年内从500个基准增加到800个学位)的基础上增加并保持12%，将LS-SCAMP学生在毕业后两年内进入研究生院的人数增加50%，制定两个暑期过渡计划(一个是学术研究，一个是研究)，以便在第一年成功过渡到STEM学士学位课程，并在五年内增加150名学生，并增加参加学术和暑期研究活动的学生数量。

The Louis Stokes South Carolina Alliance for Minority Participation (LS-SCAMP) is designed to increase the quality and quantity of underrepresented minority students (URMs) who complete baccalaureate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines and who successfully transition to pursue advanced graduate STEM degrees. LS-SCAMP is made up of South Carolina State University in collaboration with six Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), five technical colleges and three research institutions in South Carolina. The projects goals are to intensify recruitment initiatives to increase STEM enrollment by 30%, to increase and sustain the STEM baccalaureate degree production by 12% above the Phase I attainment (500 baseline to 800 degree attainment over 5 years), increase the number of LS-SCAMP students who enter graduate school within two years of graduating by 50 percent, develop two summer bridge programs (one academic and one research) for the successful transition of thirty technical college students into STEM baccalaureate degree programs in year one and 150 students over five years and increase the number of students that participate in academic and summer research activities.
