The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Noyce Scholars Program is accepting applications from current sophomores who are interested in becoming high school science or math teachers. The scholarships provide $21,900 of funding in the junior year, and $21,900 again in the senior year, for a total of $43,800 in scholarship. On a per-year basis, then, the Noyce Scholarship is the largest individual academic scholarship available to an ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ undergraduate. Scholars also receive funding for extra professional development opportunities during their time at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ, and during the first two years of their teaching. In return for these opportunities, scholarship recipients are required to complete four years of teaching in a US high-need school district. .
An information session about the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Noyce Scholars Program is being held on Tuesday, Feb. 21 at 4:30 p.m. in the Curriculum Resource Center, Mooney Hall 111.
We are also currently accepting applications for education-related internships for 10 first- or second-year students who are interested in any of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) disciplines. These internships will include a variety of settings, experiences, and schedules. The total duration of each internship will be 180 hours; interns will be paid $14 per hour, for a total of $2,520. We have established local internship sites, and there are opportunities for applicants to potentially design their own STEM Education internships near ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ or back home.
