"Don't be encumbered by
history. Go off and do something wonderful." -Robert N.
Noyce
The goal of the Robert Noyce Scholarship Program at the University of Vermont is to identify and cultivate a pool of science undergraduate students and professionals who are interested in pursuing 7-12th grade science teaching positions in high needs schools and to provide the support, education, and guidance to realize this goal.
We are looking for:
- Undergraduate science majors who are curious about 7-12 science education and would like to conduct summer research in the Noyce Summer Research Program.
- Undergraduate science majors who are considering a career in 7-12 science education.
- Senior science majors who are interested in applying for UVM's MAT program in secondary science education.
- Professionals with a BA/BS in science who are interested in applying for UVM's MAT program in secondary science education.
Individuals with disabilities or from groups underrepresented in science and science teaching are strongly encouraged to apply.
Noyce Undergraduate Summer Science Research Program
Undergraduate first and second year students enrolled full-time in a science degree program will be awarded $3,700 to complete the 10-week summer research institute that couples aspects of 7-12 science outreach with educators engaged in scientific research at UVM.
Noyce Undergraduate Scholars Program
Undergraduate juniors and seniors enrolled full-time in a
science degree program will be awarded a scholarship in
the amount of $12,500 per year for two years as they
complete their science degree and 7-12 grade science
teacher licensure requirements.
Noyce Graduate (MAT) Scholars Program
Science professionals and majors who have completed a
BA/BS in science will be awarded a scholarship in the
amount of $12,500 for one year as they work towards an MAT
degree and grade 7-12 science teaching certificate.
A New Generation of Teachers
The Robert Noyce Scholarship Program at UVM will educate new 7th-12th grade science educators through a program that brings together innovative science pedagogy with experience in up-to-date scientific research. Collaboration between the College of Education and Social Services and science departments at UVM will lead to strategies of recruitment in science education as well as in retention of undergraduate science students. The program develops informal professional networks for our future teachers, allowing for the dissemination of experience-based pedagogical discoveries and improved peer support strategies.
