Goldwater Scholarship campus applications open
Do you plan to graduate from a STEM discipline between May 2022 and May 2023? Are you participating in undergraduate research? If so, you may be a competitive candidate for the Goldwater Scholarship, which awards up to $7,500 a year toward college expenses.
Ideal Goldwater nominees plan to earn a doctorate and seek a career in mathematics, the natural sciences or engineering. They have maintained a 3.8 or higher GPA and have undergraduate research experience.
Kansas State University has the opportunity to 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 2021.
Campus applications are due on Oct. 19. To request a copy of the campus application, please email Jim Hohenbary, the Goldwater faculty representative, at jimlth@k-state.edu.
If students have questions or would like to discuss other scholarship options, please contact the Office of Nationally Competitive Scholarships at 785-532-3422 or visit the website at k-state.edu/nationalscholarships.
