The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Limestone University, a minority-serving institution, a $774,472 Project Grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to establish the Limestone University Noyce Master Teaching Fellowship Program. This 6-year program aims to develop 20 STEM teacher leaders in high-need K-12 schools in South Carolina through advanced STEAM coursework, project-based learning, and partnership with nonprofit organizations. The program will recruit experienced, exemplary K-12 STEM teachers and provide them with leadership development, data-informed curriculum design, mentoring, and advocacy training to improve student learning outcomes in under-resourced districts. Limestone University is partnering with the Branch Alliance for Educator Diversity and South Carolina's Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention & Advancement on this initiative, which commenced on October 1, 2023 and is set to run through September 30, 2029.
