This project funds scholarships for a total of 35 undergraduate STEM students and post-baccalaureate career changers in STEM disciplines to become grades 9 through 12 teachers in high-need urban schools located in New York City. Education and induction of these students is carried out by a partnership involving the Natural Science and the Graduate Education Departments at Fordham University, the Wildlife Conservation Society at the Bronx Zoo, other area informal science centers, and several area school districts. Upon acceptance into the education program, both undergraduate and graduate Scholars are individually paired with an in-service teacher who serves as their mentor while they are in school and through the induction period. Pre-service teachers participate in internships during the summer, and there a variety of internship opportunities open to them. For example they can learn how to motivate students to learn by using animals; they can work with New York in-service teachers who are also interning at informal science sites; and they can develop curriculum that can used in formal and informal science settings. Towards the end of their educational training, the Noyce Scholars participate in a 3-day per week clinical experience in one of the partnership schools. During induction, teachers meet with their mentor in-service teacher, participate in an online e-community site, and attend a retreat at the Zoo.

该项目为总共35名STEM本科生和STEM专业的毕业后转行者提供奖学金，让他们成为位于纽约市的高需求城市学校的9至12年级教师。福特汉姆大学自然科学和研究生教育部门、布朗克斯动物园野生动物保护协会、其他地区非正式科学中心和几个地区学区参与了这些学生的教育和入职。在接受教育计划后，本科生和研究生奖学金获得者将单独与一名在职教师配对，后者在他们在校期间和入职期间担任他们的导师。职前教师在暑期参加实习，有各种各样的实习机会向他们开放。例如，他们可以学习如何通过使用动物来激励学生学习；他们可以与纽约的在职教师合作，这些教师也在非正式的科学站点实习；他们可以开发可以在正式和非正式的科学环境中使用的课程。在教育培训接近尾声时，诺伊斯学者将在其中一所合作学校参加每周3天的临床体验。在入职期间，教师与他们的导师在职教师会面，参加在线电子社区网站，并参加动物园的静修活动。
