Fueling the Workforce with Science Teacher Scholarships

26名拥有STEM学科学士学位的学生将获得每年1万美元的两年奖学金，用于攻读生物学、化学、地球科学、数学或物理学的教学硕士学位。该奖学金有助于满足国家和州对具有强大内容背景的高质量科学和数学高中教师的需求。预计到2011年，获得科学和数学专业硕士学位的高中教师人数将增加一倍。预计到2011年，未被充分代表的少数群体在STEM领域获得MAT的人数将超过25%。

Twenty-six individuals with bachelors degrees in STEM disciplines are receiving two-year scholarships of $10,000 annually to study for a Masters of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree in biology, chemistry, earth science, mathematics or physics. The scholarships are helping to meet an area of national and State need for quality science and mathematics high school teachers with strong content backgrounds. A doubling of the number of high school teachers graduating with an MAT in science and mathematics is expected by 2011. The annual increase in the number of underrepresented minorities groups receiving an MAT in STEM fields is expected to exceed twenty-five percent by 2011.
