UT Dallas - UTeach Robert F. Noyce Scholarship

The requirements for the scholarships:

1. A major in a science discipline, mathematics, or engineering. **
2. Junior, Senior, or Post-Bac status at UT Dallas.
3. Be willing to sign an agreement to teach after graduation at least two years in a high-needs school for each year of Robert Noyce scholarship support.  This service must be completed within 8 years of graduation with a bachelor’s degree.  If the service requirement is not fulfilled, the scholarship will revert to an interest-bearing loan, with interest accumulation starting at the date of the initial scholarship award.  Special arrangements will be made for hardship cases.
4. Be a U. S. citizen or national/permanent resident alien.
5. Overall GPA of 3.0 at UTD and UTeach GPA of at least 3.0.

Eligibility

Eligibility for the Noyce scholarship requires that a student candidate must be a STEM major seeking a STEM degree, or STEM degree holder. If a student is a STEM major (any science, math, engineering/comp, or neuroscience), that student is eligible to apply for the Noyce if other requirements are met. If a student receives a Noyce scholarship as a STEM major but changes his or her major from STEM to a non-STEM major after receiving a semester or more Noyce scholarships, the student loses his or her eligibility for future scholarships, even if already awarded. For example, if a student is a math major, but changes his major to IS with 4-8 math certification after receipt of the first semester of a 2-semester Noyce scholarship, the student loses eligibility for the second semester. We cannot provide a Noyce scholarship to a student who is not a STEM major.
