TURLOCK, CA—Feb. 15, 2011 — The Robert Noyce Scholarship Program, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), provides scholarship opportunities for math and science majors and career professionals who hold math or science degrees to support them in completing a Secondary (Single Subject) Teaching Credential. Scholarship recipients (Noyce Scholars) will benefit from a cohort support system, enhanced learning and professional development opportunities, and one-on-one mentoring from CSU Stanislaus math and science faculty.
Current math or science majors or degree-holders you may secure up to $30,000 ($10,000 per year for up to three years) in scholarship funds to prepare to teach math or science. Applicants agree to teach in a high-need school for two years for each year of scholarship funding they receive.
