Now accepting campus applications for the Goldwater scholarship
Are you participating in undergraduate research and planning to graduate from a STEM discipline between May 2023 and May 2024? If so, you may be a competitive candidate for the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship, which awards up to $7,500 a year toward undergraduate expenses.
Ideal Goldwater nominees plan to earn a doctorate and seek a research-oriented career in mathematics, the natural sciences, or engineering; have maintained a 3.8-plus GPA; and have ongoing undergraduate research experience.
Kansas State University can nominate four students in engineering, mathematics and/or the natural sciences to compete nationally for the Goldwater. Students nominated to represent K-State in the national competition will also receive a $1,000 scholarship from K-State for spring 2022.
Campus applications are due on Nov. 5. Read the full PDF instructions regarding how to apply.
