The Robert Noyce Scholarship/Stipend program seeks to increase the number of basic education teachers with strong content knowledge in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
The program provides funds for talented STEM majors and STEM professionals who commit to become mathematics and science teachers in high-need schools. Scholarships are provided to college/university juniors or seniors who are majoring in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics who commit to completing certification in science or mathematics and teaching in a high-need school. Likewise, stipends are available for professionals seeking to become science or mathematics teachers who commit to teaching in a high-need school.
The Noyce Scholarship page has further details regarding eligibility and how to apply.
Scholarships Creating Opportunities for Applying Mathematics (S-COAM) Program
This program encourages students majoring in STEM disciplines to include additional mathematics in their degree program. Each year, need-based scholarship funds support ten new junior or senior undergraduate students who add a minor in a mathematical area to their science major or who major in a mathematical area. Additionally, five or six new graduate students are supported in the M.S. in Applied Mathematics program.
