About Noyce Fellows
The University of South Carolina (U of SC) Noyce Fellows is a South Carolina Science and Mathematics Teacher Leader (SC-SMTL) program. This five-year leadership program is for secondary science and mathematics teachers in rural South Carolina communities.
Participants of the Noyce Fellows program receive a stipend to participate in professional development activities, such as:
- Summer Instructional Leadership Academies (ILA)
- National Board Completion
- Coach Training
Noyce Fellows will also host student teaching interns from U of SC. One culminating experience will be co-leading an ILA with the project team, in which Noyce Fellows invite teachers from their school to participate. The Noyce Fellows act as peer leaders in efforts to advance their schools and communities in the areas of science and mathematics.
The U of SC College of Education is leading the Noyce Fellows effort thanks to a grant that was awarded from the National Science Foundation. The College of Education is recruiting 20 teachers from across the state to complete the five-year program.

The Goal of Noyce Fellows:
The overall goal of the Noyce Fellows program is to support these 20 teachers as they develop into professional leaders. Each fellow will foster deep commitments to improving student achievement within their rural community that will result in improved science and mathematics instruction across the state. The result is enhanced knowledge-based, sustainable communities throughout all of South Carolina.
