Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program
At UNCG, the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program seeks to encourage talented science majors and professionals to become 9-12 science teachers. The program provides funds to support scholarships, stipends, and academic programs for undergraduate science majors and for post-baccalaureate students holding STEM (science, etc.) degrees who commit to teaching in high-need K-12 local educational agencies, or school districts.
“High-need K-12 local educational agencies, or school districts” are defined according to section 201 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1021):
The term “high need local educational agency” means a local educational agency that serves an elementary or secondary school located in an area in which there is:
- A high percentage of individuals from families with incomes below the poverty line;
- A high percentage of secondary school teachers not teaching in the content area in which the teachers were trained to teach; or
- A high teacher turnover rate.
Obligations:
As dictated by the National Science Foundation, at UNCG Noyce Scholars are required to obtain their teaching credentials, meet program requirements satisfactorily including maintaining the required GPA, and teach in a high-need district for a period of two years for every year of scholarship received from the Noyce Scholarship Program. Failure to meet the service requirement converts the Noyce Scholarship into a student loan.
