In an effort to encourage student enjoyment of mathematics and mathematics education, the North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics recognizes outstanding mathematics education students at colleges and universities across the state. Each college and university with a teacher education program is asked to nominate one undergraduate student from their institution worthy of this recognition. The student must be a rising junior or senior working towards elementary, middle school, or secondary certification. The nominated students are entered into a competition with other students from their NCCTM region. One student is selected from each region, and the winning students are invited to attend the State Mathematics Conference in October where they are recognized and receive their awards.

The Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program provides funds to institutions of higher education “to support scholarships, stipends and academic programs for undergraduate STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) majors and post-baccalaureate students holding STEM degrees that earn a teaching credential and commit to teaching in high-need K-12 school districts.” Each of these students receive $21,900 scholarships during both their junior and senior years. Their program is supplemented with special experiences, including extra mentoring by university and secondary-school educators during both their undergraduate experiences as well as in their early years of teaching.
