To authorize science scholarships for educating mathematics and science teachers, and for other purposes.

Summary

10,000 Teachers, 10 Million Minds Science and Math Scholarship Act - Amends the National Science Foundation Authorization Act of 2002 to revise requirements for the Robert Noyce Scholarship program, which provides scholarships, stipends, and teacher training to science, mathematics, and engineering students and professionals in exchange for service as elementary or secondary school teachers. Extends the use of funds to summer internships for freshmen students. Increases the duration of the scholarships and stipends, and the minimum yearly scholarship amount. Eliminates the requirement that scholarship recipients serve in high-need areas, but reduces their service obligation for doing so. Authorizes the Director of the National Science Foundation (NSF) to accept private donations for the program. Revises requirements for the Mathematics and Science Education Partnerships program, which provides grants to IHEs or nonprofit institutions for the improvement of elementary and secondary mathematics and science instruction. Provides for: (1) prioritizing applications that focus on teacher training; (2) requiring the availability of master's degree programs for in-service teachers; and (3) allowing teacher training in the provision of advanced placement courses. Sets minimum and maximum grant amounts. Provides funding for: (1) teacher institutes or workshops and master's degree programs, under the Partnerships program; and (2) the Laboratory Science Teacher Professional Development program. Requires the Director to convene a panel of experts to identify, collect, and recommend the development of kindergarten through grade 12 mathematics and science teaching materials. Revises the Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology Talent Expansion program to require the Director to issue grants for the creation of centers to develop and disseminate curriculum, teaching methods, and ways to better train professors and teacher assistants to increase the number and performance of undergraduate students in such courses.
