Abstract
This research discusses the enhanced three-tiered structure used in the NEST project model which has been designed to recruit and retain interns and scholars to become qualified STEM teachers. Based on existing program data and external program evaluations through surveys and interviews from the existing NSF Noyce Scholarship Phase I program, several key findings were used to enrich the design of the NEST project. Several improvements were implemented from the current model.
