Students with a passion of math and science have a new opportunity for financial assistance through the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program. Austin Community College has partnered up with St. Edward’s University to offer scholarships for math and science majors with at least 60 undergraduate hours. Students studying for an associate of arts in teaching at ACC are also able to apply. Other qualifications students will need for this project include a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher and the minimum required hours standard by the beginning of the 2010 fall semester.
Recipients of the Noyce Scholarship will receive up to $31,000 of assistance while the student is enrolled at St. Edward’s University and will also receive mentoring from university faculty and master teachers. Recipients will be also expected to teach in AISD high-need schools after completion of their degree.
Applications are currently being accepted for consideration. The application deadline for the 2010-2011 academic year is March 1, 2010. Applications can be downloaded from the St. Edward’s University’s Web site: stedwards.edu/noyce/.
