How to Apply

Application and Selection Process

Apply here for the CSUSM Noyce Scholarship by November 14, 2025. If selected, you can begin receiving the scholarship in Spring 2026.

The selection committee will review the application of each candidate. Strong candidates will be invited to interview with the selection committee, at which further inquiry about the program activities and expectations will be discussed, as well as to ensure thorough understanding of post-scholarship professional and financial commitments.

The CSUSM Noyce Scholarship application has six parts:

1. Noyce applicant information
2. Three essay prompts
3. Current résumé, including all teaching-related activity (interpret "teaching" broadly, e.g. camp-counselor, tutor, after-school program, etc.)
4. A Plan of Study, outlining the intended timeline or courses to complete undergraduate degree (use these CSUSM forms)
5. Two letters of recommendation from qualified references who can speak to applicant's academic ability and potential to finish the program and/or their commitment to teaching math or science to all children. Alternatively, the letters can be directly sent to noyce@csusm.edu.
6. A copy of most recent transcript (an unofficial copy is acceptable). If you transferred from another college/university, submit both the final transcript from the college/university and the most recent CSUSM transcript.

Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.
