We are on a spaceship; a beautiful one.  It took billions of years to develop. We're not going to get another.  Now, how do we make this spaceship work? - R. Buckminster Fuller

Noyce Program

  • Unfortunately we no longer have scholarships to award to future STEM educators. The NSF grant funded MSUM Noyce Program has ended. We continue to mentor and provide some professional development opportunities to Noyce graduates.
  • We may have limited funds to offer summer internships in area public schools and educational organizations. When we have funds we will post more information.
