Welcome to the CSUSM Noyce Teacher Scholars Program

The CSUSM Noyce Teacher Scholars program, funded by the National Science
Foundation (NSF), responds to the critical need for K-12 teachers of science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) by encouraging talented
STEM students and professionals to pursue teaching careers.

CSUSM Noyce Teacher Scholars program provides scholarships, early teaching 
experiences, and an alumni network, and is working to develop a STEM
summer credential pathway, to increase the number of CSUSM mathematics
and science students completing the math or science single subject credential
program at CSUSM. Each Noyce Scholar receives a maximum of three years of
scholarship support of up to $12,000 per year. Scholarship recipients are
required to complete two years of teaching in high-need school districts
for each year of financial support.

Through this project, STEM undergraduates at CSUSM and Palomar will learn
about teaching careers, have access to early teaching experiences where they
can explore their interest and commitment to teaching, and be able to join
a community of Noyce Scholars engaged in further teaching activities and
receiving support to finish both a STEM degree and teaching credential.
