The Goldwater Scholarship is the most prestigious undergraduate science scholarship in the U.S. and is worth up to $7500 for the student scholar. For a scholarship application to be successful, you need excellent grades plus a clear research project and research goals. We are looking for those academically successful students who wish to pursue research careers.

  Internal applications will be a 1-2 page description of your research project, plus a brief paragraph or two about your educational goals. These applications are due November 17, 2014. You will also need a recommendation from your research advisor and two other recommendations from faculty members who know your work.
