In return for these scholarships, recipients commit to teaching in a high-need school upon graduation for a period of two to four years, in accordance with scholarship guidelines. The long-term goal of the Noyce Project is to graduate more teachers with strong backgrounds in STEM fields who are committed to teaching in high-need schools.
