The Elon Noyce Scholars Program is accepting applications from current sophomores who are interested in becoming high school science or math teachers. The scholarships provide $21,900 of funding in the junior year, and $21,900 again in the senior year, for a total of $43,800 in scholarship. On a per-year basis, then, the Noyce Scholarship is the largest individual academic scholarship available to an Elon undergraduate. Scholars also receive funding for extra professional development opportunities during their time at Elon, and during the first two years of their teaching. In return for these opportunities, scholarship recipients are required to complete four years of teaching in a US high-need school district. Apply here.
An information session about the Elon Noyce Scholars Program is being held on Tuesday, Feb. 21 at 4:30 p.m. in the Curriculum Resource Center, Mooney Hall 111.
We are also currently accepting applications for education-related internships for 10 first- or second-year students who are interested in any of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) disciplines. These internships will include a variety of settings, experiences, and schedules. The total duration of each internship will be 180 hours; interns will be paid $14 per hour, for a total of $2,520. We have established local internship sites, and there are opportunities for applicants to potentially design their own STEM Education internships near Elon or back home.
