Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program

The Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program provides funding to institutions of higher education to offer scholarships, stipends, and programmatic support to recruit and prepare STEM majors and professionals to become K-12 teachers. The program aims to increase the number of K-12 teachers with strong STEM content knowledge who teach in high-need school districts. It includes multiple tracks: Scholarships and Stipends, NSF Teaching Fellowships, NSF Master Teaching Fellowships, and Noyce Research, plus capacity building awards. The program encourages partnerships between four-year and two-year institutions to provide pathways to STEM teacher certification.
