The Georgia <strong>LSAMP</strong> is one <strong>of</strong> the n<strong>at</strong>ion’s most productive in<br />
terms <strong>of</strong> ranking among the baccalaure<strong>at</strong>e-origin institutions <strong>of</strong><br />
Black STEM doctor<strong>at</strong>e recipients. The unifying themes <strong>of</strong> this<br />

particip<strong>at</strong>ion, student financial support, and gradu<strong>at</strong>e school<br />
enrollment. The Georgia <strong>LSAMP</strong> will significantly increase the<br />
number <strong>of</strong> STEM baccalaure<strong>at</strong>e degrees awarded, increase<br />
the number <strong>of</strong> students entering gradu<strong>at</strong>e school each year,<br />
and increase retention.<br />
