Why Hire A Noyce Scholar?

The Program

Regional Partnership

The mission of the Philadelphia Regional Noyce Partnership (PRNP) is to build lasting synergies among the Noyce programs in the greater Philadelphia region that will strengthen all aspects of the STEM teacher pipeline: recruitment, pre-service preparation, induction, and ongoing development and growth throughout a teacher's career, in ways that no individual institution would be able to achieve alone. 

The Noyce Scholarship Track provides funds to institutions of higher education to support scholarships, stipends, and academic programs for undergraduate STEM majors and post-baccalaureate students holding STEM degrees while they earn a teaching credential.

PRNP Benefits

On-Going Support: Comprehensive support services that help with the transition to full-time teaching. ​
Professional Networks: Program partners and their affiliates work together to provide professional and social networking opportunities.
Commitment to High-Need Schools: For each single year of support, scholars commit two years of teaching in a high needs school.
