Michigan Tech Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program
Nearly $1 million of federal stimulus money has found its way to Michigan Tech for a scholarship program that focuses on increasing the number and quality of teachers of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in the state.
Tech Today, June 5, 2009
Overview
Michigan Tech and its partners have established a new five-year program, the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program. This program will support 36 STEM students and professionals to become certified mathematics or science teachers.
Noyce Scholar benefits will include seminars, pre-student-teaching field experiences, e-mentoring of secondary students, student teaching support, priority career placement, and in-service support.
Scholarships of $10,000 per year are available for 24 STEM undergraduates to cover tuition. Stipends of $18,000 are available for 12 STEM professionals seeking to change careers. Undergraduate students will participate in the program for their junior and senior years. In return for two years of scholarship support, they will be required to teach in a high-need school for four years. STEM professionals will participate for one year and will be required to teach in a high-need school for two years.
Michigan Tech Noyce Scholars will be supported by partner districts, Saginaw Public Schools and Grand Rapids Public Schools, and partner universities, Saginaw Valley State University and Grand Valley State University. |
