The Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program, offered by the National Science Foundation (NSF), aims to attract talented science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors and professionals into K-12 math and science teaching. The program features two main tracks: The Noyce Scholarship Track provides funding to institutions of higher education for scholarships, stipends, and academic support for undergraduate STEM majors and post-baccalaureate students to earn teaching credentials and commit to teaching in high-need K-12 schools. The NSF Teaching Fellowship/Master Teaching Fellowship Track supports STEM professionals pursuing master’s degrees for teacher certification, offering academic courses, professional development, and salary supplements for a four-year teaching commitment. This track also fosters Master Teachers through professional development and salary supplements. Additionally, Capacity Building Projects are supported to enhance institutional ability to prepare effective K-12 STEM teachers and Master Teachers.

| 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 in high-need school districts. Each track supports Capacity Building Projects to develop the capacity for institutions to provide innovative teacher preparation programs to 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. |
