Tougaloo College, a minority-serving institution, is awarding two-year scholarships to 18 talented, upper-level students with a major in biology, chemistry, mathematics or physics who desire certification in secondary education and are committed to completing four years of teaching in grades 7-12 in high-need school districts in Mississippi. The substantial curriculum is being driven by clinical field-based experiences in formal and informal settings, seminars, and workshops in collaboration with established local school districts and community partners. The Noyce Program is being structured around undergraduate and post-graduate mentoring by STEM and Education Division faculty and master 7-12 teachers, professional development activities and networking. Scholars are being prepared to enter the 7-12 STEM classroom as highly qualified, highly effective teachers and are provided resources and support to ensure teacher retention. Pre-Noyce activities such as teaching in the college's Summer Science Program are being made available to freshmen and sophomores who wish to ultimately apply for Noyce scholarships. By establishing a strong STEM Teacher Education Program that will impact Mississippi students for years to come, the Program is increasing the number of qualified beginning STEM teachers in Mississippi and increasing the number of effective beginning teachers in schools serving economic and socially disadvantaged students. The project is establishing a mechanism for ongoing participation between Tougaloo STEM and Education faculty, increasing the number and expertise of STEM beginning teachers, and subsequently improving the aspirations and competence of Mississippi students. By building partnerships with community schools, the Program is creating a pipeline for future qualified STEM teachers to serve in area high-need schools.

Tougaloo学院是一所为少数族裔服务的学校，它向18名有才华的、高水平的学生颁发了两年的奖学金，这些学生主修生物、化学、数学或物理，希望获得中学教育证书，并致力于在密西西比州的高需求学区完成4年7-12年级的教学。实质性课程由正式和非正式环境中的临床实地经验、研讨会和与当地学区和社区合作伙伴合作的讲习班推动。Noyce项目由STEM和教育部门的教师和7-12年级的硕士教师指导本科生和研究生，专业发展活动和网络。学者们正准备进入7-12年级的STEM课堂，成为高素质、高效率的教师，并获得资源和支持，以确保教师留任。希望最终申请诺伊斯奖学金的大一和大二学生可以参加诺伊斯预科活动，比如在学院的暑期科学项目中授课。通过建立一个强大的STEM教师教育计划，将在未来几年影响密西西比州的学生，该计划正在增加密西西比州合格的初级STEM教师的数量，并在为经济和社会弱势学生服务的学校增加有效的初级STEM教师的数量。该项目正在为Tougaloo STEM和教育教师之间的持续参与建立一种机制，增加STEM初级教师的数量和专业知识，并随后提高密西西比州学生的愿望和能力。通过与社区学校建立合作伙伴关系，该计划正在为未来合格的STEM教师在地区高需求学校服务创造渠道。
