With the support of a Capacity Building Grant, the University of Indianapolis is developing the infrastructure to support a Noyce Scholarship Program. Building on the success of its Woodrow Wilson Indiana Teaching Fellowship Program, which attracts recent graduates and career changers into urban science and mathematics teaching, the university seeks to increase the number of undergraduate chemistry majors entering teaching by 300% and undergraduate biology majors entering teaching by 100%. The project goals include graduating 8-10 Noyce Scholars per year who are prepared to teach science in grades 7-12. Specifically, the University of Indianapolis' College of Arts and Sciences and School of Education are developing the Noyce Scholarship Program in collaboration with Christel House Academy, Metropolitan School District of Decatur Township, Metropolitan School District of Perry Township, and Metropolitan School District of Wayne Township, all of which are qualified as high-need, in the state of Indiana. The project planning team, comprised of a diverse group of stakeholders, is creating a science teaching curriculum that is content-rich, requires Noyce Scholars to spend substantial time in partner schools, and includes mentoring support in the first three years of urban or rural high-need teaching. The team is also creating strategies for recruiting high-ability students into science teaching, particularly those from underrepresented groups; working with University of Indianapolis advisors to recruit non-continuing pre-health students into science teaching; developing new partnerships with corporations and not-for-profit organizations to offer paid summer internships to Noyce Scholars; and devising institutional processes for scholarship selection, disbursement and compliance.

在能力建设赠款的支持下，印第安纳波利斯大学正在开发基础设施，以支持诺伊斯奖学金计划。在伍德罗·威尔逊印第安纳州教学奖学金计划的成功基础上，该计划吸引了应届毕业生和职业转换者进入城市科学和数学教学，该大学寻求将本科化学专业的学生人数增加300%，本科生物专业的学生人数增加100%。 该项目的目标包括每年毕业8-10诺伊斯学者谁是准备在7-12年级教科学。 具体而言，印第安纳波利斯大学的艺术与科学学院和教育学院正在与Christel House Academy，Decatur Township的大都会学区，佩里镇的大都会学区和韦恩镇的大都会学区合作开发Noyce奖学金计划，所有这些都符合印第安纳州的高需求。 项目规划团队由不同的利益相关者组成，正在创建内容丰富的科学教学课程，要求诺伊斯学者在合作学校花费大量时间，并在城市或农村高需求教学的前三年提供指导支持。 该团队还制定了招募高能力学生进入科学教学的战略，特别是那些来自代表性不足的群体;与印第安纳波利斯大学顾问合作，招募非持续的健康前学生进入科学教学;与公司和非营利组织建立新的合作伙伴关系，为诺伊斯学者提供带薪暑期实习机会;并为奖学金的选择、发放和遵守制定制度程序。
