Barry Goldwater Scholarship

The Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program was authorized by the United States Congress in 1986 to honor Senator Barry M. Goldwater, who served his country for 56 years as a soldier and statesman, including 30 years of service in the U.S. Senate. The creation of this program pays tribute to the leadership, courage, and vision of Senator Goldwater and establishes in his name an endowed recognition program to foster and encourage excellence in science and mathematics.

To be considered, a student must be nominated by his or her college or university using the official nomination materials available to each institution on the Foundation's website at Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship.
