Noyce OwlsTeach Program

The OwlsTeach Program aims to increase the number and diversity of new secondary science and math teachers and ensure that they will be prepared to provide high-quality, culturally responsive instruction to students in Connecticut’s highest-needs school districts.

The Noyce Scholarship

The National Science Foundation’s Robert Noyce Scholarship program is a $1.4 million grant awarded to Southern Connecticut State University (in partnership with CT State) to address a national shortage of highly qualified STEM teachers. Scholarships are awarded to SCSU students pursuing a bachelor’s degree in science or mathematics to earn a secondary (grades 7-12) teaching certification through SCSU’s OwlsTeach program. Each scholarship recipient will receive full tuition and fees and up to $800 toward books for up to two years while in the OwlsTeach program (junior and senior year). Stipends are awarded to SCSU students pursuing a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree in science or mathematics to earn a secondary (grades 7-12) teaching certification through SCSU's OwlsTeach program. Each stipend recipient will receive full tuition and fees for up to one year (or 14 months) while in the OwlsTeach program. In return, each scholarship recipient will agree to serve as a science or math teacher in a high-needs school district after graduation.
