The program has the following key components.

Interns are not guaranteed a scholarship as they enter their junior year, but interns will be seriously considered based upon their internship period.
Noyce Scholars are eligible to receive a full scholarship during their junior and senior years at 澳门六合开奖. Graduate students are eligible to receive a full scholarship during each of the two years of the secondary education MA degree program. All scholars need to complete all courses required for Illinois licensure.
For each year of scholarship received, the scholar agrees to teach an eligible STEM subject in a 鈥渉igh-needs鈥 Illinois school for two years. A high-needs school has a high percentage of low-income students, a high teacher attrition rate, and/or a high percentage of teachers who are not trained in the subject they are teaching. Scholars who do not fulfill the teaching commitment within six years must repay the scholarship. The Chicago Public Schools will assist in job placement, however it is not required that you teach at a CPS school the entire four years or at all.
