LSAMP-BD PROGRAM FUNDING

LSAMP-BD COHORT XIII Applicants Needed

Funding starts August 1, 2016 and ends July 31, 2018. The deadline to apply for the CSU LSAMP-BD XIII program is May 13, 2016. However, all STEM department deadlines to apply for Admissions to the Graduate Program are much earlier. Some departments have a deadline as early as March 15, 2016 via CSU Mentor and the specific STEM department. Other departments have deadlines in April or May 1, 2016. Below you will find the following documents: (a) Steps recommended for applying for the LSAMP-BD program – it is important that students read and follow these recommendations if they are interested in applying; and (b) The BD informational flyer. The BD application form (available in both Word and PDF forms) is available online at the website indicated below. Also at this website students will find the Faculty Recommendation Form and the Coordinator Confirmation Form (both are part of the required application materials.) Students have to meet the University and STEM Department Admissions requirements to be eligible for the LSAMP-BD program, so it is important that they examine the attached “Steps Recommended document.” We probably will not know if NSF is funding the program which is currently under review until after CSU Mentor deadlines have past.
Application deadline is May 13, 2016.
