Barry Goldwater Scholarships are awarded to outstanding undergraduates of junior and senior standing who are studying mathematics, natural sciences or engineering and who intend to pursue a research career. The scholarship awards up to $7,500 for the remaining year(s) of research at App State. Desired qualities of applicants include a highly competitive grade point average, demonstrated research experience and commitment and potential to make a significant contribution to a STEM field. Applicants interested in pursuing medicine must demonstrate a desire for medical research, rather than medical practice. This is one of the few scholarships for undergraduates, but can be a step toward a Fulbright, Rhodes or other scholarship opportunity.
If you are interested in this opportunity and wish to learn more, visit the Office of Nationally Competitive Scholarships – Goldwater. For questions? Email Dr. Scott Collier, Faculty Director of NCS -
