Undergraduate students are recruited to participate in the Noyce six week internship program held in the summer between their sophomore and junior year. This internship is designed to highlight the profession of teaching and the foundations of science education. Selection for the summer internship program is based on a GPA of 2.5. Each participant receives a $2,700 stipend and is given the opportunity to get an early experience in STEM education.

Admission requirements for the internship are similar to the admission requirements for the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program.

Selection Process

Noyce scholarship selection is based on academic merit with consideration of financial need. Selection is based in part on the student’s participation in the summer internship and symposia, major/area of interest, and GPA. The Hampton University Office of Financial Aid will provide insight on the financial need of applicants in the event that two or more applicants have the same credentials but only one scholarship can be awarded. A Selection Committee comprised of both science and education faculty members will make the final scholarship award selections.

Students selected to receive the scholarships will have an induction interview to insure they are committed to teaching and clearly understand the teaching requirements of the scholarship.

Summer internship recipients are chosen using similar criteria.
