The Integrated Achievement and Mentoring (iAM) Program
About
The Integrated Achievement and Mentoring (iAM) Program for Student Success 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, 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 University. The iAM Program provides integrated support and mentorship to promote academic and career success for its scholars. The iAM Scholars find a new community of peers and professors dedicated to helping them succeed.
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 University.
Current Hofstra STEM majors
Participation of Hofstra STEM majors is by invitation only. Eligible students are contacted in January and offered the opportunity to apply. The iAM Program team reviews applications before the spring semester.
Students whose applications are selected are invited to an interview to ensure that the iAM Program is a good fit for each scholar.
