Secondary Science and Mathematics Teaching

Robert Noyce Fellowship/Scholarship Program

Baylor College of Medicine

Funded by the National Science Foundation

Have you ever thought about teaching science or math in high school? If so, Baylor College of Medicine (Baylor) has an exciting opportunity for you! We are proud to announce the availability of Robert Noyce Fellowships of $10,000 each, to be offered on a competitive basis for qualified science and mathematics professionals who wish to become secondary science or math teachers.

Those selected for Noyce Fellowships will receive training through an innovative program, called ACCELERATE, which is conducted as a partnership between Baylor's Center for Educational Outreach and Texas A&M University. The ACCELERATE program features online coursework and flexible, mentored field experiences that lead to certification as a Texas science or math teacher. Importantly, the program allows you to remain in your present position (or complete your degree) until you enter the classroom as a certified, paid teacher.

The Noyce Foundation was created to honor the legacy of Dr. Robert Noyce, inventor of the integrated circuit, or microchip. Robert Noyce fellows are part of a prestigious national initiative, funded by the National Science Foundation, to encourage exceptional science, technology, engineering, and mathematics majors and professionals to become K-12 mathematics and science teachers.
