Applications are now open for the NYS Math and Science Teaching Incentive Program for the 2025-26 academic year. This program provides scholarships covering the cost of tuition for full-time undergraduate and graduate students who commit to teaching math or science in secondary education (grades 7-12) in New York State.
According to the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation, the NYS Math and Science Teaching Incentive Program was created to meet the growing need for skilled educators in these vital subject areas across the state. By supporting students who pursue careers in teaching, the program plays a vital role in ensuring that New York classrooms are staffed with highly skilled educators who can prepare students for success in STEM fields.
Eligible students enrolled in an approved undergraduate or graduate program may apply for the NYS Math and Science Teaching Incentive Program. Students who do not meet the program citizenship and residency requirements may apply through the New York State DREAM Act. Scholarship recipients must agree to teach math or science in a secondary school in New York State for at least five years, beginning within two years of completing their degree program and receiving initial certification.
The application deadline is May 13, 2025.
