The '''Noyce Foundation''' was founded in 1990 by his family. The foundation was dedicated to improving public education in mathematics and science in grades [[K-12]].<ref name="Noyce Foundation: About Us"/> The foundation announced that it would end operations in 2015.<ref>{{Cite web |date=July 22, 2015 |title=Featured News: Noyce Foundation to Sunset in 2015 |url=http://www.noycefdn.org/news.php |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150723094638/http://www.noycefdn.org/news.php |archive-date=July 23, 2015 |website=Noyce Foundation |language=en-US |access-date=July 22, 2015}}</ref>

In 1990, Congress established the Robert Noyce National Math and Science Teachers Corps Act which authorizes awards up to 5,000 scholarships annually to assist individuals in obtaining a teaching degree.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Levine|first=Mel|date=1990-07-11|title=H.R.5248 – 101st Congress (1989–1990): Robert Noyce National Math and Science Teachers Corps Act|url=https://www.congress.gov/bill/101st-congress/house-bill/5248|access-date=2021-07-15|website=www.congress.gov}}</ref> These awards are granted to institutions of higher education who administer the projects after successful proposal submissions through the National Science Foundation's Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program ("Noyce").<ref>{{Cite web|title=Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program (nsf21578) {{!}} NSF – National Science Foundation|url=https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2021/nsf21578/nsf21578.htm|access-date=2021-07-15|website=www.nsf.gov}}</ref> Pre-service teachers are recruited by their college/university and must be STEM majors. Scholarship recipients to agree to teach science or mathematics in a high-need school districts for at least two years for each fiscal year the recipient received such a scholarship. The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) works with the NSF Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program to identify and disseminate information about effective practices and strategies for attracting, selecting, and preparing new K-12 STEM teachers and retaining them in the STEM teacher workforce.<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program|url=https://www.nsfnoyce.org/|access-date=2021-07-15|website=www.nsfnoyce.org}}</ref>
