Scholars

GOLDWATER SCHOLARSHIP

This scholarship honoring Barry M. Goldwater provides up to $15,000 for two years of study. The scholarship was set up by Congress for science, math, and engineering students.

K-State ranks first in the nation among 500 state universities in producing Goldwater winners since the program began in 1989. Only Princeton and Harvard have produced more Goldwater scholars than K-State.
