The Robert Noyce Scholarship Program will educate new
secondary science teachers through a program that brings
together innovative science pedagogy with experience in up-todate scientific research. Collaboration between the College
of Education and Social Services and Science Departments
from throughout UVM will lead to ongoing mentorship and
professional networks. The Robert Noyce Scholarship Program
will be implemented through the following programs:
The Noyce Scholarship Program will provide scholarships for
undergraduate science majors to become teachers in high-need
school districts. In addition, scholarships are available for
professionals and those students who already have a Bachelor’s
degree seeking to become a science teacher in a high-need
school. Through acceptance of the scholarship and stipend,
recipients agree to teach two years in a high-need school district
for every year of scholarship funds received.
The Noyce Summer Science Research Program will provide
stipends for undergraduate first-and second-year science
majors to participate in ongoing research with UVM scientists
and local science teachers.
