There are two major categories of AMP applicants: first time in college, and currently enrolled students. The following guidelines are minimum academic qualifications for each category. It is important to keep in mind for all decisions that the AMP is not and cannot be a remedial program. All AMP Scholars must have the potential to earn a STEM degree in 5 or fewer years. Students who do not meet the eligibility criteria are eligible to enter into a contract agreement that allows them to demonstrate their capability to do the coursework and thereby become eligible for AMP funding the following semester (refer to Item C below).

A. Incoming Freshman Students must:

  1. Have at least three years of (state core) science courses
  2. Have taken mathematics courses through pre-calculus (elementary functions), calculus preferred
  3. Rank in top 25% of high school graduating class and/or have a state core gpa >= 3.00
  4. SAT math >= 450, SAT verbal >= 450 or TASP mathematics, reading and writing component score >= 250 each.
  5. Math and science GPA>= 3.0

B. Currently enrolled students must have

  1. declared a STEM major
  2. cumulative gpa >= 2.5
  3. major GPA >= 2.5 (or math/sci GPA³ 2.5)
  4. full-time student status (12 or more semester credit hrs.)

C. Contracts (for applicants not meeting above criteria). Students successfully completing the contract semester would qualify for AMP funding the following semester.

  1. Declare STEM major (if not already)
  2. Enroll in at least 12 hrs of courses applicable to STEM degree with at least 1 appropriate math course and at least 1 appropriate science course.
