Led by SUNY New Paltz, the LSAMP program in the mid-Hudson region serves undergraduate students pursuing majors in the sciences, engineering, technology, mathematics and computer science that have traditionally been underrepresented in these majors and career areas.

Overall, our program goals are:

• To encourage underrepresented students to choose majors in the sciences and technology
• To provide a range of services to support and assist them as they pursue majors in these areas
• To facilitate a range of successful transitions: from two-year to four-year institutions, from school to internship to permanent job placements, and from undergraduate to graduate education.

• Academic support
  Professional and peer tutoring in small groups or individually
  Textbook/calculator lending service
• Advising

• Recognition
  Book awards and scholars' awards from $100 to $750 for selected students achieving high GPAs
