Goldwater Scholarship Program was created to encourage outstanding students to pursue careers in mathematics, the natural sciences, or engineering and to foster excellence in those fields. In awarding scholarships, the Foundation Board of Trustees will consider the nominee's field of study and career objectives and the extent to which that individual has the commitment and potential to make a significant contribution to his or her field. Nominees for Goldwater Scholarships must include in their online application a statement of interest in a career in mathematics, the natural sciences, or engineering, detailing how their academic program and their overall educational plans will prepare them for their chosen career goal. It is expected that students selected as scholars will pursue advanced degrees. Students who plan to study medicine are eligible for a Goldwater Scholarship only if they plan a research career rather than a career as a medical doctor in a private practice. Examples of the educational plans of some former Goldwater Scholars are listed below (this list is not inclusive): Undergraduate MajorCareer ObjectivesAerospace EngineeringAdvanced propulsion systemsAquatic/Natural Resources ManagementAquatic biology/environmental resourcesAstrophysicsAstronomyApplied ScienceMedical researchBiochemistry/MicrobiologyClinical research in infectious diseasesBiologyAgricultural/environmental scienceBiologyGenetic engineeringBiology ImmunologyBiologyMolecular biologyBiology/ChemistryBiomedical technologyBotanyResearch in plant physiologyChemical EngineeringResearch in chemical kineticsChemistryResearch in environmental chemistryChemistryNutritional chemistryChemistryEnvironmental chemistryChemistryBiotechnology/biochemistryComputer ScienceArtificial intelligence researchElectrical EngineeringSolid states researchEngineering PhysicsResearch in mathematical physicsEntomologyResearch in ecology or entomologyEnvironmental EngineeringResearch in hazardous waste treatmentEnvironmental ScienceConservation ecologyGeologyPlanetary geologyGeology/BiologyPaleontologyMathematicsApplied math in operations researchMathematicsMath analysis or topologyMathematicsResearch in pure mathematicsMathematicsStatistical population researchMathematicsRoboticsMathematicsResearch in theoretical mathematicsMathematics/ChemistryResearch chemistryMathematics/Computer ScienceComputer applications in pure mathematical researchMathematics/PhysicsResearch in theoretical physicsMathematics/PhysicsExperimental physicsMathematics/PhysicsHigh energy physicsMechanical EngineeringDevelopment of micro and nano technologiesMicrobiologyMicrobial geneticsMolecular GeneticsAntiviral chemotherapyNeurobiologyField biologyNuclear EngineeringResearch in nuclear engineeringPhysicsPhysical oceanographyPhysicsAlternate energy sourcesPhysicsNuclear physicsPhysicsTheoretical physicsPhysicsEnvironmental physicsPhysics/AstronomyAstrophysics and nonlinear dynamicsQuantum MechanicsNeurological researchZoologyZoologist/medical researchZoologyOrganism physiologyConditions of Eligibility To be considered for nomination as a Goldwater Scholar, a student must: Be a full-time matriculated sophomore or junior pursuing a degree at an accredited institution of higher education during the 20082009 academic year. "Sophomore" is defined as a student who plans two more years of full-time undergraduate study beginning September 2009. Sophomore nominees can expect to receive a maximum of two years of support. Students in two-year colleges who plan to transfer to a baccalaureate program at another institution may be nominated. "Junior" is defined as a student who plans one more year of full-time undergraduate study beginning September 2009. Junior nominees can expect to receive a maximum of one year of support. Have a college grade-point average of at least "B" (or the equivalent) and be in the upper fourth of his or her class. Be a United States citizen, a permanent resident, or, in the case of nominees from American Samoa or the Commonwealth of the Mariana Islands, a United States national.

Nomination Procedures The Institution of Higher Education All candidates for scholarships are nominated by their college or university. The Foundation will not solicit or accept applications directly from candidates but will advise applicants as to the appropriate procedures. The Foundation invites eligible accredited U.S. institutions (or branches of those institutions) to nominate students for the 2009 competition. Two-year institutions may nominate up to two current sophomores. Four-year institutions may nominate up to four current sophomores or juniors. If an institution chooses to nominate more than one student, these nominees may reside in the same state or district or they may be from different states or districts. The Nominating Official Each participating institution must appoint a  HYPERLINK "http://act.org/goldwater/gfacrep.html" faculty representative to serve as liaison between the institution and the Foundation. The faculty representative: Publicizes the Goldwater Scholarship Program on campus. Solicits faculty recommendations of outstanding students who demonstrate commitment to pursue a career in mathematics, the natural sciences, or engineering. Establishes the process to select the best qualified candidates to be nominated. Helps nominees prepare for the competition. Ensures that the institution's nominations are complete and submitted online by the stated deadline. Nomination Materials The Foundation's online application will be available by September 2008.

Nominee Applicationaffirms the nominee's wish to be considered for the scholarship; provides biographical information about the nominee's background, interests, and plans; and provides a statement that describes the nominee's intent to enter an appropriate career in mathematics, the natural sciences, or engineering and specifies how the student's educational plans will provide preparation for that career. Nominee Essaywritten by the student and relates to the student's chosen career. Recommendations (3)student lists three recommenders and their email address in their application. The system will then generate an email to each recommender giving them instructions on completing their online recommendation. The recommendations should be from a faculty member who can discuss the nominee's potential for a career in mathematics, the natural sciences, or engineering; a faculty member in the nominee's field of study; and another individual/faculty member who can attest to the nominee's potential.
