Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program

The Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program is a funding opportunity provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) that aims to recruit, prepare, and retain highly effective elementary and secondary mathematics and science teachers and teacher leaders in high-need school districts. The program supports talented science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) undergraduate majors and professionals to become effective K-12 STEM teachers, as well as experienced, exemplary K-12 STEM teachers to become teacher leaders. The program offers four tracks: Track 1: The Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarships and Stipends (S&S) Track, Track 2: The NSF Teaching Fellowships (TF) Track, Track 3: The NSF Master Teaching Fellowships (MTF) Track, and Track 4: The Noyce Research Track. • The program supports research on the effectiveness and retention of K-12 STEM teachers in high-need school districts. • The program offers Capacity Building proposals to help proposers develop a proposal in any of the program's tracks. • The program supports conference proposals focused on improving STEM teacher preparation. • Proposals that support authentic Research Experiences in STEM Settings (RESS) for Noyce and/or non-Noyce pre-service and in-service STEM teachers are also invited.
