The NOYCE Foundation (http://www.noycefdn.org/) has provided Colorado State University's School of Teacher Education and Principal Preparation (STEPP) and the Colleges of Natural Sciences and Engineering the opportunity to recruit and train talented STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) students for a career in education.
A goal of the NOYCE program is to recruit STEM majors who might otherwise not have considered a career in secondary teaching. The scholarship program is intended for students who have earned at least 60 credits, are majoring in a STEM field, and would like to pursue a teaching career in science, engineering or mathematics.
Scholarship recipients will receive $10,000 per year for both their junior and senior years. 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.
