In addition to tuition assistance, this program hadvarious components that assured every scholar had the adequate academic support andprofessional development opportunities to succeed in their field of study. Data thatreflects the impact of this program on student success in STEM fields at UNM will berevisited. Although the program ended nationwide in September 2007, NTP at UNM lefta great legacy among students, faculty and staff at UNM.

To date, theseefforts have primarily been conducted at the graduate level, where a strong student response andinterest in our programs indicates a good measure of success (see Fig. 1).
