Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) Program
Kentucky State University is a partner of the NSF Kentucky-West Virginia Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP). The main intent of the program is to increase the number of young people from underrepresented groups in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Two main activities carried at KSU at present are:
- A three-week on campus Summer Bridge Program for Kentucky high school students/incoming freshman with an interest in STEM disciplines. The participants attend inquiry-based workshops/labs in STEM disciplines such as: physical science, natural science, computer science, and mathematics. The students also have the opportunity to visit research laboratories at near by research-intensive institutions. Additionally, they visit KSU’s state-of-the-art Aquaculture Center and State Forensic Laboratory.
- KSU science majors have opportunity to conduct undergraduate research in STEM Disciplines under the guidance of participating faculty and land grant investigators.
Stipends are available for both these activities.

Comments from our graduates:
"I had an invaluable experience at Kentucky State University.The classes offered were enlightening and the professors were very helpful. These classes in a unique way provided a foundation for what would be my primary area of interest. Moreover, I was able to stay in school and graduate on time because of the financial help I got from various sources e.g. the math & science department.
"In the spring of 2012, I was accepted at Carnegie Mellon University. As I plan to join the school in a few weeks, I have no doubt in my mind that I am prepared to compete with students from high ranking schools in the country and around the world. I would recommend Kentucky State University to anyone who is looking to succeed academically and professionally."
- David W. Munyaka
B.S. in Chemistry
Minors: Mathematics & CIS
“As a biology major, I had the opportunity to learn from and work with supportive and approachable faculty members that truly wanted every student to succeed.”
- Kelley (Tipton), Research Analyst, ECRI Institute
“The academic training I received in the Division of Math and Science Department at KSU has provided me with the tools for success as I embark on a career in the sciences… I would encourage all students considering KSU to take a close look at the numerous opportunities available and the fundamental training provided by the Division of Math and Science.”
-Rob (Robert Rivers), Science Policy fellow at the National Institutes of Health
“I strongly believe that the Division of Math and Sciences in particular, and Kentucky State University (KSU) in general, have instilled an invaluable academic effect into me.”
-Lamin, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Harvard Medical School

-Dr. Amy Brumlow, Chiropractic Doctor
“I cannot begin to describe how much I enjoyed the professors that I have had the opportunity to interact with from the Division of Math and Sciences... I will always give credit to Kentucky State University's college of mathematics and sciences for the goals I am sure I will accomplish.”
-Leslye Brent, Masters in medical science degree
“The faculty at KSU dedicated more time to their students than required of them and I really appreciated their efforts.”
-Santhi Chilukuri, MPH student at the University of Kentucky
“…My experience at KSU was excellent. The Math and Science department really prepared me for medical school (although at the time I did not know that!)…The professors in the department were always willing to take that extra step, to ensure that you were successful not only in their class, but also in completing your degree at Kentucky State University.
-Tiffany D. Williams, University of Louisville
“… I chose KSU because it offers a personal connection between faculty and staff. I wasn’t just a number, I was an individual.”
-Kimberly Jennings, Research Associate
Nationwide Children’s Hospital Research Institute
“…the Math and Science department at Kentucky State University is really one of a kind. Even though I was a science major before I came to KYSU the knowledge and experience I received and gained molded me into the person that I am now.”
-Abraham Bekele, Quality Assurance Technician; Springfield Plant
“…The faculty-student ratio is ideal and conducive for higher learning. The Division of Math and Sciences has a great team of professors and leaders who promote academic excellence among the students whom they reach. The faculty has equipped me and many others for advanced-level degrees in math and science.”
-Stephanie Chisley, PA-C
“Being a student athlete and biology major I had a very close relationship with many of my professors. They wanted me to succeed on and off the field and were willing to go the extra mile to help me make up work that I missed because of games.”
-Melissa Seward University of Kentucky Doctorate of Physical Therapy Class of 2010
“…The university has given an opportunity to someone that may not have had one…They challenged me by giving me a scholarship to attend, but ensured that I would strive to do well by setting guidelines to maintain the scholarship. With such a supportive department as yours, I was able to achieve what I came to do.”
-Wendy L. Jackson, Ob/Gyn Physician
