NSF Robert Noyce Scholarship Program; up to $12,000 per year
The Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program seeks to encourage talented science, technology, engineering, and mathematics majors and professionals to become K-12 mathematics and science teachers. The National Science Foundation recently awarded CSUN a Noyce Phase II grant which will provide funding for CSUN students interested in math and science teaching.
- Scholarships for students preparing to be secondary (grades 6-12) math and science teachers.
- Undergraduates in math and science and credential students are eligible.
- Single subject math and science credential students with undergraduate STEM degrees are eligible.
- $12,000 per year while you finish your Bachelor's degree and/or work on your credential (two year max for undergraduates, one for graduate students)
- Commitment to teach in a high-need school for at least two years following the credential.

Why Teach Science?
Please take a few minutes to listen to what science teachers say. Check out the CSUN Advantage in Science Teacher Preparation!
CSUN offers specialized training for science teachers:
California State University Northridge has one of the largest science education credentialing programs in the state of California. As a result of our size, we are able to offer specialized instruction in the teaching of science, rather than just the generalized teaching methods taught at many institutions. Students enroll in specialized science education courses such as: Methods of Teaching Science, Methods of Teaching Science Lab, Supervised Field Experience in Teaching Science, and Student Teaching in Science. In addition, science credential teachers may substitute Computers in Science Teaching, or Website Development for Science Teachers in lieu of the Computers in Education requirement. All professors hold doctoral degrees and have taught science in secondary schools. All field supervisors have had numerous years of experience as secondary school science teachers.
Careers in Science Education
There is a strong demand for science teachers in the state of California and throughout the nation. Our records show that during the past 20 years, more than 99% of those completing the credential programs in science have found jobs as science teachers. The demand for science teachers should remain strong despite economic recessions and fiscal cutbacks.
