The National Science Foundation (NSF) offers the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program, aimed at attracting talented science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors and professionals to become K-12 mathematics and science teachers. This grant provides funding through two primary tracks. The Noyce Scholarship Track supports undergraduate STEM students and post-baccalaureates with scholarships, stipends, and academic programs to earn teaching credentials for high-need K-12 school districts. The NSF Teaching Fellowship/Master Teaching Fellowship Track assists STEM professionals pursuing master’s degrees for teacher certification, providing academic support, professional development, and salary supplements for a four-year teaching commitment. This track also supports exemplary K-12 teachers to become Master Teachers, offering development and supplements for a five-year commitment. Capacity Building Projects further enhance teacher preparation programs.

| Description: | 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 provides funding to support 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 while they fulfill a five-year teaching commitment in high-need school districts. Capacity Building Projects support the development of new programs and activities to increase the capacity for institutions to provide innovative teacher preparation programs that enable increasing numbers of STEM majors and STEM professionals to become effective K-12 mathematics and science teachers and to develop the capacity to prepare Master science and mathematics teachers. |
