Carlow Noyce Scholars Program

This program, funded by the National Science Foundation, supports undergraduate juniors and seniors as well as graduate students at Carlow University who are preparing to become middle and high school STEM educators. Eligible participants must be majoring in biology, chemistry, or mathematics and pursuing their teaching certification. The initiative focuses on preparing highly qualified educators with experiential learning opportunities and a curriculum emphasizing computational thinking. In exchange for financial support, recipients commit to teaching in a high-need school district for two years for each year of funding they receive. Additionally, scholars must participate in professional development activities, such as serving as guest speakers, workshop presenters, or mentors, and they must agree to ongoing evaluations and mentorship while providing proof of employment after graduation.
