Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program

[Paco Tomei]

The Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program seeks to encourage
talented science, technology, engineering, and mathematics majors and
professionals to become K-12 mathematics and science teachers. The
Noyce Scholarship Track provides funds to institutions of higher
education to support scholarships, stipends, and academic programs for
undergraduate STEM majors and post-baccalaureate students holding STEM
degrees who earn a teaching credential and commit to teaching in high-
need K-12 school districts. The NSF Teaching Fellowship/Master
Teaching Fellowship Track supports STEM professionals who enroll as
NSF Teaching Fellows in master's degree programs leading to teacher
certification by providing academic courses, professional development,
and salary supplements while they are fulfilling a four-year teaching
commitment in a high need school district. This track also supports
the development of NSF Master Teaching Fellows by providing
professional development and salary supplements for exemplary
mathematics and science teachers to become Master Teachers in high
need school districts.

Innovation through Institutional Integration (I3) projects enable
faculty, administrators, and others in institutions to think and act
strategically about the creative integration of NSF-funded awards,
with particular emphasis on awards managed through programs in the
Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR), but not limited
to those awards. For Fiscal Year 2010, proposals are being solicited
in nine EHR programs that advance I3 goals: CREST, GSE, HBCU-UP,
ITEST, LSAMP, MSP, Noyce, RDE, and TCUP.
