Noyce INSPIRE Scholars will receive a scholarship to cover their attendance at St. John Fisher University. After graduation, INSPIRE Scholars will be required to work in a high-need school district (with rural districts strongly encouraged) for two years for each year of the scholarship received, to be fulfilled within eight years after completing the program. In order to meet the eligibility criteria for the INSPIRE program, scholars must be current U.S. citizens, permanent residents, nationals, or refugees. They must also be enrolled in both the B.A. degree in a STEM discipline (biology, chemistry, math, or physics) and inclusive adolescence education major. They must have a GPA of at least 2.80 or higher in science and education courses by the time they apply to the program and for the duration of the scholarship program. A letter of recommendation from a STEM faculty member is required. The committee will take into consideration financial need, whether the student graduated from a rural or high-need high school, and whether the student will increase participation of minorities, persons with disabilities, and underrepresented genders relative to specific teaching areas.
