The Robert Noyce Scholarship Program at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) is designed to attract undergraduates from a range of STEM disciplines as well as STEM professionals choosing a change of career to teach science and mathematics in fifth through twelfth grades. The project is supporting the preparation of 28 new teachers who choose to work in high need school districts through a successful and recognized preparation program modified to address issues and strategies for working in rural, high need districts, and to provide continued mentoring and professional development during the novice teachers' induction years. UNH Noyce Scholars are receiving an enhanced academic and clinical preparation, provided through a strong, sustained collaboration among faculty in the physical sciences, life sciences, mathematics and education, in concert with the diversity of experiences offered by the UNH TRIO programs. UNH's five-year teacher preparation program culminating in a Master's degree provides for a year-long internship as well as other clinical experiences through pedagogical course work. The UNH Noyce Scholarship program is expanding the teacher preparation program by offering multiple opportunities for undergraduates to tutor and mentor at-risk middle school and high school students from high need districts through summer internships. In addition, a series of seminars focus on rural educational issues such as professional isolation, addressing the needs of at-risk students, and scarcity of funding for special education to better prepare future teachers and help to increase retention rates of new STEM educators in rural, high need districts. Induction support uses the resources of e-Mentoring for Student Success, an electronic learning community for new teachers and faculty mentors. Many school districts in the state of New Hampshire are rural, characterized by low student populations, low household income, and low educational achievement. Schools in these communities record high teacher turnover rates and insufficient numbers of well-prepared new teachers in the STEM disciplines. The UNH Noyce Scholars are being prepared to teach in these rural school districts.

该罗伯特诺伊斯奖学金计划在新罕布什尔州（UNH）的大学旨在吸引从一系列的STEM学科的本科生以及STEM专业人士选择职业生涯的变化，教科学和数学在第五至第十二年级。 该项目正在通过一个成功的、得到认可的准备方案，帮助28名选择在高需求学区工作的新教师做好准备，该方案经过修改，以解决在农村高需求学区工作的问题和战略，并在新教师上岗期间提供持续的指导和专业发展。UNH Noyce学者正在接受增强的学术和临床准备，通过物理科学，生命科学，数学和教育教师之间的强有力的，持续的合作提供，与UNH TRIO计划提供的经验的多样性相一致。 UNH的五年制教师准备计划最终在硕士学位提供了为期一年的实习，以及通过教学课程工作的其他临床经验。UNH Noyce奖学金计划正在扩大教师准备计划，为本科生提供多种机会，通过暑期实习辅导和指导来自高需求地区的高风险初中和高中学生。此外，一系列研讨会侧重于农村教育问题，如专业隔离，解决有风险学生的需求，以及特殊教育资金短缺，以更好地培养未来的教师，并帮助提高农村高需求地区新的STEM教育工作者的保留率。入门支持使用电子辅导学生成功的资源，一个电子学习社区的新教师和教师导师。新罕布什尔州的许多学区都是农村地区，其特点是学生人数少，家庭收入低，教育成就低。这些社区的学校教师流动率很高，STEM学科准备充分的新教师人数不足。UNH Noyce学者正准备在这些农村学区任教。
