Robert Noyce Teacher Scholars Program

Information for Community College Students

The 大发 Noyce scholarships are awarded to 大发 undergraduate students in STEM areas in their last two years of study and teacher candidates in a teaching credential program (one year). See the eligibility requirements on the Scholarship Information page. Community College Students need to transfer to 大发 and enroll in a STEM department to be eligible for the scholarship.
