In addition to the Virginia Teach Noyce Scholarship and Internship programs, there are several opportunities for interested students to obtain partial funding for their expenses while they progress toward achieving their certification in Mathematics Education.

Virginia Teaching Scholarship Loan Program (VTSLP)

Students must be at or beyond the sophomore year (including graduate years), possess a QCA of at least 2.7, and be a resident of Virginia. Eligible students may receive a scholarship-loan for as much as $3720. Upon completion of the teacher preparation program, the scholarship recipient must teach continuously in a public school in Virginia for the same number of years that he received the scholarship.

The application process begins in the spring semester, when students are nominated by their departments for the award. Please email Andy Norton by January 31 if you would like to be considered for this nomination.

VCTM Scholarship Program

The Virginia Council of Teachers of Mathematics offers several scholarships to prospective math teachers. Candidates must be Virginia residents, full-time students at a Virginia college or university, enrolled in a degree-seeking program with a concentration or major in mathematics. Candidates must plan to teach in Virginia upon graduation at either the elementary, middle, high, or college level. Please visit vctm.org to download your application materials.

Higher Education Teacher Assistance Program

This scholarship is for $2000 and is need-based. Any student interested in teaching with a QCA of at least 2.5 is eligible. All you have to do to apply is to email Andy Norton and let him know that you would like to be considered. This scholarship is not limited to math majors, and underclassmen are eligible, although preference will be given to juniors or seniors who have already been accepted into the education program. The deadline for submitting your name is October 31.
