The Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation, established by Congress in 1986, serves as a living memorial to honor the lifetime work of Senator Barry Goldwater. The Foundation provides scholarships to college sophomores and juniors pursuing research careers in natural sciences, mathematics, and engineering, helping to produce highly-qualified professionals in these critical fields.
Over its 30-year history, the Foundation has awarded thousands of Goldwater Scholarships to undergraduates who have gone on to win prestigious awards and contribute to research, defense, and education. Recently, the Foundation received a $9 million grant from the Department of Defense to double the number of scholarships, further supporting the next generation of STEM research workforce.
