CALIFORNIA CENTRAL COAST COMMUNITY COLLEGES COLLABORATIVE (C6)LOUIS STOKES ALLIANCES FOR MINORITY PARTICIPATION (LSAMP)
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.
Named in honor of Louis Stokes, the first African American congressional representative
from Ohio, LSAMP’s purpose 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.
