Are you interested in teaching science or math in a 6th-12th grade classroom? If so, the NSF Robert Noyce Scholarship Program might be for you!
The program is currently recruiting sophomore/junior-level students who are interested in becoming STEM teachers starting in Spring 2024. The deadline to apply is Friday, Sept. 29.
The goal of the program is to prepare culturally competent science and math teachers.

As a Noyce Scholar, you commit to teaching for two years per year of scholarship in a high-needs school district after graduation.
