Goldwater Scholarship
The Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program was established by Congress to honor Senator Barry M. Goldwater. 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. Each scholarship covers eligible expenses for tuition, fees, books, and room and board, up to a maximum of $7,500 annually. Sophomores and juniors are eligible to apply. Research experience and strong academic record required. University endorsement is required, and Clemson may nominate only four students. Interested students should contact the office early in the fall semester to begin seeking nomination.
