The Noyce Teacher Scholarship is made possible by a $1.1 million grant from the National Science Foundation to support increasing the number of undergraduate students pursuing STEM teaching and preparing them to be highly effective secondary educators in high-need schools.
Available to Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµAPK juniors and seniors, the Noyce scholarship can help diversify the teacher population in high-need schools.
Indiana is currently experiencing teacher shortages in secondary mathematics and all science disciplines, which negatively impacts the educational access of youth in high-need schools throughout the state. The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµAPK Noyce program aims to address the teacher shortage by preparing undergraduates majoring in biology, chemistry, and mathematics to become secondary mathematics or science teachers in high-need schools.
Noyce Scholarship recipients can receive up to $15,000 per year for two years while at Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµAPK and then an additional $8,000 per year while fulfilling the teaching requirements of the scholarship.
