New York State (NYS) Math & Science Teaching Incentive
Scholarships are offered to encourage students to pursue
careers as secondary math and science teachers (grades
7-12). This program provides awards to students
attending school at the undergraduate and/or graduate
degree level in exchange for five years of full-time
employment as secondary education math or science
teachers.
Applicants must:
 | Be U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens |

graduate program at a degree granting institution in
NYS leading to a career as a secondary education

to work for five years as a secondary school math or
science teacher. View

Federal Teach Grant and a NYS Math and Science
Teacher Incentive Program award at the same time. |
 | Not be in default on a federally guaranteed
student loan. |

funding, awards will be paid according to rank.
