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 />
