The Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship is intended for qualified students pursuing eligible fields of study, typically in science, mathematics, or engineering. Applicants should review their institution’s nomination rules and confirm they meet all academic and program-specific eligibility requirements before applying.

The listed application deadline is January 30, 2027. Students should begin preparing early, since campus nomination and internal review deadlines may occur before the final submission date.

The application process generally involves confirming eligibility, gathering academic records and supporting materials, completing the scholarship application, and submitting all required documents by the deadline. Because some schools require institutional nomination, applicants should also contact their campus scholarship office for specific steps.

The listed award amount for the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship is $15,000, which can help cover qualifying education costs for selected students.
