SECTION III: <strong>Scholarship</strong> Agreement<br />

A) I verify that I am enrolled full time in a program <strong>of</strong> study at CSU-Pueblo leading to a license as a<br />

secondary education mathematics teacher, AND I understand that this support will end if I cease to be<br />

enrolled at CSU-Pueblo.<br />

B) I verify that I am U.S. Citizen or permanent resident alien.<br />

C) I understand that one <strong>of</strong> the requirements <strong>of</strong> continued <strong>Noyce</strong> support is maintaining satisfactory<br />

academic progress as this is defined in my CSU-Pueblo <strong>Noyce</strong> Scholars award letter.<br />

D) I understand that my CSU-Pueblo <strong>Noyce</strong> Scholars scholarship might affect other financial aid awards,<br />

and it is up to me to verify this by checking with the CSU-Pueblo Financial Aid Office.<br />

E) I agree to achieve teacher licensure in secondary mathematics education AND gain direct teaching<br />

experience in a local educational agency that serves an elementary or a secondary school located in<br />

an area in which one or more <strong>of</strong> the following conditions is met at the time <strong>of</strong> my initial employment:<br />

1) a high percentage <strong>of</strong> individuals from families with incomes below the poverty line;<br />

2) a high percentage <strong>of</strong> secondary school teachers not teaching in the content area in which the<br />

teachers were trained to teach; or<br />

3) a high teacher turnover rate.<br />

F) I agree to work full-time in an eligible school district for a minimum <strong>of</strong> two years if I receive <strong>Noyce</strong><br />

support during two academic semesters (regardless <strong>of</strong> the number <strong>of</strong> summer semesters <strong>of</strong> <strong>Noyce</strong><br />

support received), or to work full-time in an eligible school district for a minimum <strong>of</strong> one year if I<br />

receive <strong>Noyce</strong> support for either exactly one (summer or academic) semester or for one summer<br />

semester and one academic semester. I understand this service obligation must be completed within<br />

eight (8) years <strong>of</strong> completion <strong>of</strong> the secondary mathematics licensure program at CSU-Pueblo.<br />

If I am unable to find full-time employment, but do find part time employment (½ time or greater) in<br />

an eligible school district, I agree to work proportionally longer to meet my service obligation. For<br />

example, if I have a service obligation <strong>of</strong> 2 years and I work ½ time at an eligible school district, I will<br />

have a service obligation <strong>of</strong> 4 years at ½ time employment.<br />

G) I agree to provide CSU-Pueblo’s <strong>Noyce</strong> Scholars Program with written evidence <strong>of</strong> compliance with the<br />

above requirements, AND to notify CSU-Pueblo at such times as I am not in compliance with any <strong>of</strong> the<br />

requirements.<br />

H) I agree to inform CSU-Pueblo’s <strong>Noyce</strong> Scholars Program promptly in writing or electronically <strong>of</strong> any<br />

change in my name, permanent address or other personal information disclosed in the Recipient<br />

Section (Section I) <strong>of</strong> this agreement, AND if my employment in a high-need school district ceases prior<br />

to fulfilling the required service obligation <strong>of</strong> the scholarship.<br />

I) I give permission to CSU-Pueblo’s <strong>Noyce</strong> Scholars Program to release this information to the National<br />

Science Foundation, if required, AND I give CSU – Pueblo permission to publicize my <strong>Noyce</strong> Scholars<br />

Award and post my photograph.<br />
