FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITIES - SUNY AGEP PROGRAM
Stony Brook University is the lead institution for the National Science Foundation funded SUNY-wide initiative called AGEP (Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate). The national AGEP program was created by Congress with the primary aim of increasing the number of underrepresented minority students (African American, Hispanic, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander) receiving doctoral degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines and entering the professoriate.
The partners in the SUNY AGEP alliance are SUNY Albany, Binghamton, and Buffalo as well as the undergraduate NSF initiative SUNY LSAMP (Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation) and Brookhaven Science Associates, the organization that runs Brookhaven National Laboratory. The initial SUNY AGEP grant was for 2.5 million dollars covering 1999-2005. In 2005 the project was renewed at an impressive 5.6 million dollars to cover Phase II which will bring the project to 2010.
AGEP is a comprehensive program that provides a wide range of services to underrepresented minority doctoral students in the STEM fields as well as to the STEM departments and graduate programs.
