As a national leader in the field of teacher education, UNC received a $1.2 million grant award from the National Science Foundation. Under the leadership of Dr. Robert Reinsvold (PI, Biological Sciences), Dr. Cathleen Craviotto (Co-PI, Mathematics), Dr. Valerie Middleton (Co-PI, Teacher Education), and Lori Reinsvold (Program Coordinator, MAST Institute), the Noyce Scholarship and Noyce Internship Programs support and prepare UNC mathematics and science majors who are pursuing careers in secondary teaching to teach in high-need school districts, especially in rural areas. The five-year grant began Fall 2010.
These programs are housed in the MAST Institute.and Dr. Julie Sexton is the Program Evaluator.
What is a Noyce Scholarship?
Highly qualtified math and science teachers are in high demand. There are many opportunities for teaching positions. The Noyce Scholarship Program at UNC wants to provide UNC math or science teaching majors with upto $32,000 to complete their science or math teaching major and qualify for these jobs.
This scholarship is for talented UNC science and mathematics majors or science and mathematics professionals who would like to be secondary (grades 6-12) mathematics or science teachers. The grant will award 30 scholarships over five years. The scholarship program is intended for students who have completed their sophomore or junior year, are majoring in a science or mathematics field, enrolled in the secondary teacher education program (PTEP), and would like to pursue a teaching career in mathematics or science. Scholarships are also given to professionals who have completed their bachelor’s degree in a Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) field, accepted in the UNC Post Baccalaureate Teacher Licensure Program in mathematics or science, and would like to pursue a teaching career in mathematics or science.
UNC junior and senior students who become Noyce Scholars, will receive $16,000 per year. Scholarship recipients are required to complete two years of teaching in a high-need school district for every year of scholarship received. Note: If the teaching obligation is not met, the scholarship converts to a loan, appreciates interest, and must be repaid in full.
