Mercy College was awarded a $1.4 million grant by the National Science Foundation's Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program for a six-year project. The project will prepare 14 in-service master math and science teachers to become Master Teacher Fellows and leaders in their high-need school districts - Elmsford, New Rochelle, Port Chester and Yonkers - with a particular focus on recruiting teachers from underrepresented groups in STEM fields.
