<p>The Barry M. Goldwater Foundation has just announced the new class of 2013 Goldwater Scholars for students interested in math, engineering and the sciences. Though not nearly as generous as the Hertz Fellowship, it is the next most widely desired scholarship in these fields.</p>
<p>This year Princeton had two Scholars. The maximum allowed for any one school is four per year. </p>
<p>Nationwide there were three schools with four winners, Drexel, Montana State and Rice.</p>
<p>Every school in the Ivy League had at least one winner with the exception of Brown and Yale which had none.</p>

<p>Scholar</a> Press Release: Goldwater Scholarship Program</p>
<p>"The Goldwater Scholars were selected on the basis of academic merit from a field of 1,107 mathematics, science, and engineering students who were nominated by the faculties of colleges and universities nationwide. One hundred seventy-six of the Scholars are men, 95 are women, and virtually all intend to obtain a Ph.D. as their degree objective. Twenty-seven Scholars are mathematics majors, 159 are science and related majors, 71 are majoring in engineering, and 14 are computer science majors. Many of the Scholars have dual majors in a variety of mathematics, science, engineering, and computer disciplines.</p>
<p>The one and two year scholarships will cover the cost of tuition, fees, books, and room and board up to a maximum of $7,500 per year.</p>
<p>Goldwater Scholars have very impressive academic qualifications that have garnered the attention of prestigious post-graduate fellowship programs. Recent Goldwater Scholars have been awarded 80 Rhodes Scholarships, 118 Marshall Awards, 110 Churchill Scholarships and numerous other distinguished fellowships.</p>
