NSF and Historically Black Colleges and Universities
BRIDGE and Undergraduate Opportunities
The Science and Technology Access to Research and Graduate Education (STARGE) Project is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the auspices of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP). The program consists of two components: (1) High School to College (BRIDGE) and (2) Undergraduate Opportunities.
Our Mission
The mission of STARGE is to enhance the achievement of minority students
