The Noyce Scholarship

The National Science Foundation’s Robert Noyce Scholarship program at Southern Connecticut State University is an intentional recruitment and candidate-support grant (Award #2050472) designed to address acute workforce shortages in secondary (grades 7–12) STEM education across Connecticut." Scholarships are awarded to SCSU students pursuing a bachelor’s degree in science or mathematics to earn a secondary (grades 7-12) teaching certification through SCSU’s OwlsTeach program. Each scholarship recipient will receive full tuition and fees and up to $800 toward books for up to two years while in the OwlsTeach program (junior and senior year). Stipends are awarded to SCSU students pursuing a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree in science or mathematics to earn a secondary (grades 7-12) teaching certification through SCSU's OwlsTeach program. Each stipend recipient will receive full tuition and fees for up to one year (or 14 months) while in the OwlsTeach program. In return, each scholarship recipient will agree to serve as a science or math teacher in a high-needs school district after graduation. See the map of selected high-needs school districts across Connecticut.
