The Elon Noyce Scholars Program is accepting scholarship applications from current sophomores who are interested in becoming K-12 science or math teachers, and current first years who are interested in STEM fields.
The Elon Noyce Scholars Program is accepting applications for scholarships that 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 assistance.
Scholars also receive funding for professional development opportunities during their time at Elon as they prepare to become teachers 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 U.S. high-need school district. Apply here. The fall semester deadline for applications is March 15.
We are also currently accepting applications for education-related internships for 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, before taxes and withholdings. 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.
Some of last year’s interns worked in Florida, Virginia and New Jersey. Internships are typically completed during the summer. Apply here. The deadline for applications is March 15.
