Goldwater Scholarship for Excellence in STEM Education – Apply for UTSA Nomination -
The Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation recognizes every year the nation’s most accomplished students who plan to pursue a research career. Almost all scholars plan to pursue a PhD in the areas of natural sciences, mathematics
and engineering.
Each year, the foundation makes 490+ awards.
The scholarship provides $7500 per year in funding toward a student’s remaining undergraduate education costs.
UTSA is able to nominate 4 students who are either sophomores (Graduating in Spring 2028) or juniors (graduating in Fall or Spring 2027). UTSA is able to nominate:
-
An additional 5th student who is a
transfer from another 4-year institution or a community college.
