TTU BAT-LSAMP Scholar Alumni

The Bridges Across Texas - LSAMP (BAT-LSAMP) Program was an NSF-funded collaborative effort among five Texas institutions to support undergraduate students earning STEM degrees. The program prioritized academic support, mentoring, access to STEM resources, and social support to help students build connections and succeed in their educational pursuits.

At Texas Tech University, the program doubled the number of URM STEM baccalaureate graduates from 278 to over 750 annually. In addition, sustained increases in URM STEM enrollment, retention and graduation rates narrowed the gap with non-URM students. Student scholars reported high satisfaction and a significant sense of belonging. BAT-LSAMP also was essential in establishing the Undergraduate STEM Center at each participating institution. The program was terminated in May 2025. 

 These students were Texas Tech participants from 2022-25 and are recognized for their achievements and participation.
