Barry Goldwater Excellence in Education

The Barry Goldwater Excellence in Education recognition program, offered by the Goldwater Foundation, is designed for high school students who are serious about pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM). It recognizes students who show strong academic performance, curiosity in STEM fields, and an early interest in research or innovation. While the well-known Goldwater Scholarship is awarded at the college level, this high school recognition program helps students begin building a profile that can support future scholarship eligibility.

Students who may be a good fit include those who:

• Enjoy advanced STEM coursework, competitions, or independent projects
• Are considering research-focused majors in college
• Want to understand what it takes to be competitive for national STEM scholarships

Participation can strengthen a student’s college and scholarship applications by demonstrating sustained commitment to STEM, early engagement with research-oriented opportunities, and alignment with pathways that lead to the Goldwater Scholarship in college. Interested students and educators can learn more about the Goldwater Foundation’s programs and long-term opportunities at the official website: https://goldwaterscholarship.gov/.
