The Drexel University Noyce Scholarship program is a partnership
between the School of Education; the College of Arts and Sciences; the School
of Biomedical Engineering, Science, and Health Systems; and the School District
of Philadelphia. This program is funded by the National Science Foundation.
Its objectives are:
- To recruit qualified science, engineering, and mathematics
students and professionals dedicated to teaching math or science in the
School District of Philadelphia
- To provide strong preparation addressing content knowledge,
pedagogical content knowledge, learner knowledge, and technology integration
- To provide mentoring and induction activities
Individuals selected to participate in this program will become
certified teachers of mathematics, biology, physics, chemistry, earth and
space science, environmental science, or general science. Note that an applicant
must be a U.S. national, a U.S. citizen, or have permanent resident status.
The Noyce Scholarship program offers two types of scholarships:
the Noyce Scholar and Noyce Professional. The Noyce Scholar is an undergraduate
