APRIL 15 DEADLINE SET FOR NOYCE SCHOLARS PROGRAM
MARTIN, Tenn. – The 2023 application deadline for the University of Tennessee at Martin’s Noyce Scholars Program is April 15. Non-teachers who have earned bachelor’s degrees in math, science or engineering can apply. The program pays full tuition for recipients to earn a master’s degree in education and provides mentorship for individuals who agree to teach for two years.
UT Martin received a National Science Foundation award in 2021 totaling $1.2 million over five years to recruit 25 individuals who have science, math or engineering degrees to complete master’s degrees and teach STEM subjects. Program participants receive a $29,000 one-year stipend, complete the Master of Science in Initial Licensure degree, and obtain an educator license.
Each teacher who completes the program commits to teach at least two years in a high-need school district and will be supported by a mentor who receives a $2,000 stipend. The mentorship program is designed to encourage these new teachers to complete full careers in the classroom. Elizabeth Campbell, the first Noyce Scholars Program graduate, received her master’s degree in May 2022.
