Robert Noyce Scholarships at Trinity University

三一学院的罗伯特·诺伊斯（Robert Noyce）项目旨在提高圣安东尼奥地区数学和科学教学的数量和质量，向大四学生和硕士研究生提供罗伯特·诺伊斯（Robert Noyce）奖学金。在M.A.T.学年中，学生们在当地学校的教室里进行为期八个月的全职实习，这是一种类似于医学教学医院实习经历的教师培训学徒模式。广泛的征聘活动针对所有合格的候选人，并特别注意代表人数不足的群体。选择标准包括：总绩点和专业内绩点；通过推荐信和面试证明的智力和教学潜力；证明有经济需要；并评估候选人是否有能力成为圣安东尼奥地区学校学生的有效榜样。申请大四的学生可能是三一学院的STEM专业学生，也可能是其他机构的STEM专业学生，他们已经申请并获得了M.A.T.项目的学士学位后候选人资格。所有Noyce获奖者都被分配给STEM教师和教育教师导师。在教学的前三年，他们的STEM和教育教师导师将继续提供支持。诺伊斯学者还参加其他教育部在职项目。此外，为了帮助新手教师，新教师和有经验的教师通过三一学院的“关键之友”小组联系起来，使教师和管理人员能够维持一个专业社区。教育部将通过其在线数据库跟踪每位Noyce获得者的职业生涯，并监督和执行对项目条件的遵守。

The Robert Noyce program at Trinity aims to increase both the quantity and quality of math and science teaching in the San Antonio area by awarding Robert Noyce scholarships to seniors and post-baccalaureate candidates in their M.A.T. year. During the M.A.T. year students intern nearly full-time for eight months in classrooms in local schools in an apprenticeship model of teacher preparation analogous to a medical teaching hospital internship experience. Extensive recruiting activities are targeting all qualified candidates with special attention to under-represented groups. Criteria for selection include: GPA overall and within the major field; intellectual and pedagogical potential as evidenced by references and interview; demonstrated financial need; and estimate of the candidate's ability to be an effective role model for students in San Antonio area schools. Students who apply as seniors may be STEM majors either at Trinity, or they may be STEM majors from other institutions who have applied and gained admission to the M.A.T. program as post-baccalaureate candidates. All Noyce recipients are assigned both STEM faculty and Education faculty mentors. During the first three years of teaching, their STEM and Education faculty mentors will continue to provide support. Noyce scholars also participate in other department of Education in-service programs. In addition, to help sustain novice teachers, new and experienced teachers are linked through Trinity's "Critical Friends" groups that enable teachers and administrators to maintain a professional community. The department of Education will track each Noyce recipient's career through its on-line database and monitor and enforce compliance with program conditions.
