University of Indianapolis Noyce Scholarship Program

在能力建设补助金的支持下，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项目。伍德罗·威尔逊印第安纳州教学奖学金项目（Woodrow Wilson Indiana Teaching Fellowship Program）的成功吸引了应届毕业生和转行人士进入城市科学和数学教学领域，在此基础上，该大学寻求将化学专业本科生进入教学的人数增加300%，将生物学专业本科生进入教学的人数增加100%。该项目的目标包括每年毕业8-10名诺伊斯学者，他们准备在7-12年级教授科学。具体来说，印第安纳波利斯大学艺术与科学学院和教育学院正在与克里斯特尔豪斯学院、迪凯特镇大都会学区、佩里镇大都会学区和韦恩镇大都会学区合作开发诺伊斯奖学金计划，所有这些都是印第安纳州高需求的合格学校。由不同利益相关者组成的项目规划团队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策略，特别是那些来自代表性不足群体的学生；与印第安纳波利斯大学（University of Indianapolis）的顾问合作，招收非继续预科生进入科学教学；与企业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；制定奖学金选择、发放和遵守的制度流程。

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.
