Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship

The Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program was established by 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 purpose of the Foundation is to provide a continuing source of highly qualified scientists, mathematicians, and engineers by awarding scholarships to college students who intend to pursue careers in these fields. The Foundation will award up to 300 Goldwater Scholarships to students who will be college Juniors or Seniors during the 2007-2008 academic year. Awards are made on the basis of merit. Yale College is invited to nominate four Sophomores or Juniors to the national competition.
Each award covers eligible expenses, including tuition, fees, books, and room and board, up to a maximum of $7,500 per year. Goldwater Scholars are eligible for one or two years of support.

Approximate scholarship value: $4500000
