C6 LSAMP Project
Learn more about the grant funded by the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation
Overview
C6 is an alliance of eight California Community Colleges: Allan Hancock, Cabrillo, Cuesta, Monterey Peninsula, Moorpark, Oxnard, Santa Barbara City, and Ventura Colleges. C6 is the first group of California community colleges to win a National Science Foundation Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (NSF/LSAMP) grant. NSF/LSAMP is a program that was created specifically for students who have been historically underrepresented in STEM. LSAMP’s goal is to increase opportunities for students from underrepresented communities to pursue STEM degrees and careers. LSAMP does this by providing students with access to financial, academic and career support.
The C6 Alliance focuses on three pillars of support for its C6 Scholars:
- Research Opportunities
- Academic Support
- Professional Development/Career Exploration
C6 pools its resources together to bring LSAMP Scholars the very best STEM resources and opportunities that each college has to offer. For example, our collaborative symposium series offered every semester includes STEM topics such as success strategies, career exploration, financial aid and scholarships, internship opportunities, health and personal welfare, and professional skill development.
