“The Noyce Scholarship has helped me and my family stay out of debt. My goal from the start of college was to graduate debt free and it may not have happened without the Noyce. This was particularly important to me because of lower teacher wages. If I had needed to go into debt an unusually large portion of my income would have been spent on paying back the debt supporting a wife and child as I work through college. I am verygrateful to have been awarded the Noyce Scholarship.”
