The scholarship program provides financial incentives and academic support for aspiring mathematics and science teachers who will teach in high-need (academically and culturally diverse) schools.
Scholarship Awards:
Scholarships will range from $7,500 to $10,000 per student, per academic year. For a given scholarship award year, applications will be made available the previous winter quarter.
Eligible recipients:
UCI Credential Year Scholarships
- UCI credential program students in single subject math or science are eligible to receive the scholarship during their credential program year. The scholarship award is contingent on having earned a bachelor’s degree (or advanced degree) in math, one of the natural sciences, computer science, engineering, or other another technology-oriented discipline. Applicants must demonstrate an interest in teaching in a high-need school.
Award Criteria: Academic merit (primary) and financial need (secondary).
Primary Terms and Conditions: Teaching in a High-Need School
- Scholarship recipients must: a) earn a bachelor’s degree in math, one of the sciences, computer science, engineering, or other technology-oriented discipline; b) earn a California “preliminary” teaching credential for single subject mathematics or one of the science disciplines; and c) must teach mathematics or science in a high-need school (as defined by the National Science Foundation) for two years for every one year of scholarship received. Otherwise, the scholarship must be repaid to UCI.
