Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship

The Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship, provided by the Barry Goldwater Scholarship & Excellence in Education Foundation, supports outstanding undergraduate students who are pursuing research careers. Eligible applicants must be focusing their studies on fields such as the natural sciences, mathematics, and engineering. This program aims to identify and foster the next generation of scientific researchers in the United States.

The scholarship helps cover eligible educational expenses for undergraduate students as they complete their degrees. While the program is merit-based and focused on research potential, applicants are generally encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to help their institutions coordinate the funding with their overall financial aid packages. Students interested in applying should coordinate with their campus representative, as institutions must nominate candidates for the national competition.
