The Bridge to the Doctorate (BTD) fellowship program is an extension of LSAMP, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), aimed at increasing the quality and quantity of underrepresented minority students successfully completing Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) graduate degree programs.

Designed to aid Master’s level students in garnering the resources and information necessary to assist them in successfully matriculating into a Doctoral program, the BTD fellowship seeks to support students academically and professionally in achieving an advanced degree. Students who participate in this fellowship program are provided mentoring from advanced graduate students and faculty, links to research and internship programs, opportunities to participate in national and professional conferences, and enriched academic support.

Currently, the BTD program is active in its 5th cohort at Texas A&M University.
