The bill reduces ambiguity and eases administration of the Noyce Scholarship through clearer statutory language, but it may raise participants' cost-sharing obligations and cause temporary implementation confusion.
Teachers, teacher-candidates, and college program administrators benefit from clearer, more consistent statutory language for the Noyce Scholarship program, reducing ambiguity and simplifying grant administration.
Teachers, teacher-candidates, and participating institutions could face higher cost-sharing or out-of-pocket obligations if the removed subsection had previously limited participants' cost responsibilities.
Applicants, teachers, and administrators may experience short-term confusion or administrative burden while guidance and program materials are updated to reflect the statutory edits.

Introduced December 2, 2025 by Josh Riley · Last progress December 2, 2025
Removes statutory cost‑sharing language tied to the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program and makes minor wording, singular/plural, spacing, and terminology edits in related NSF statutes; it also establishes the Act's short title. These are technical, non‑monetary statutory amendments and do not create new funding, deadlines, or reporting requirements.
