Noyce Fellowship Program: Student Perspectives The Noyce Fellowship program is offered by the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development and the College of Arts and Science at New York University to increase the number of highly qualified math and science teachers in U.S middle and high schools.
The Noyce Fellowship Program is offered to graduates of the New York University College of Arts and Science with mathematics, science, computer science and related majors (and, in some cases, minors.)
This program will prepare its students to enter secondary school classrooms as fully certified teachers with a Master's degree one year after graduating from college, and will also facilitate their placement in teaching jobs in high needs schools.
The Fellowship will fully fund a fifth-year Master's degree in Science or Math Education at the Steinhardt School and will also provide either a living stipend during the one year that will be required to earn the Master's Degree or, alternatively, cover the extra cost of undergraduate courses required to qualify for the Master's program. Those who receive benefits from a Noyce scholarship will assume a teaching obligation: two years for those who complete the Master's program.
In order to help you decide if you want to pursue a teaching career, we will invite you to participate in a paid internship as a part-time assistant in a math or science classroom in a selected middle or high school in New York City. The purpose of this internship is to help you develop an inside understanding of secondary math and science teaching, and to learn that teaching does not mean giving up a career in science or math. After you complete this internship, if you decide you are interested in pursuing a career in science or mathematics teaching, you can then apply for a Noyce Fellowship.
Now is the time to lay the groundwork by having an authentic experience in a New York City public school.
