Stages of Noyce
Based on participation in the Pre-Noyce activities, sophomores will be invited to apply for admission for their junior and senior years into the GW Noyce Scholarship program. The rest of the program will focus on preparing the students for their work as teachers in high-need secondary schools, post-graduation from GW. Scholarships up to $20,000 per year will be available for students completing the program. Upon acceptance into the GW Noyce program, students must sign a contract agreeing to work in a high need school within the Washington DC area or some other approved district. For each year of funding, students must teach two years in their chosen school.
