iAM (Integrated Achievement and Mentoring) Program

About This Program

Is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and run by an interdisciplinary group of faculty from the Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the DeMatteis School of Engineering and Applied Science. With funding from the NSF’s Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (S-STEM) program, the iAM Program provides support to students with the academic promise to succeed in STEM disciplines at Hofstra. The iAM Program provides integrated support and mentorship to promote academic and career success for its scholars. The iAM Program also prepares upper-level scholars to mentor new arrivals in the program. The iAM scholars find a new community of peers and professors dedicated to helping them do well. Scholars who meet financial criteria receive scholarships funded by the NSF. To receive funding, scholars must maintain Pell eligibility and matriculation in an approved STEM major at Hofstra.
