    The Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation


    The Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation was established by Congress in 1986 to serve as a living memorial to honor Senator Barry Goldwater's lifetime work. Goldwater served his country for 56 years as a soldier and statesman, including 30 years in the U.S. Senate.

    By providing scholarships to college sophomores and juniors who intend to pursue research careers in the natural sciences, mathematics, and engineering, the Goldwater Foundation is helping ensure that the U.S. is producing the number of highly qualified professionals the Nation needs in these critical fields. Over its 30-year history, Goldwater Scholarships have been awarded to thousands of undergraduates, many of whom have gone on to win other prestigious awards like the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Fellowship, Rhodes Scholarship, Churchill Scholarship, and the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship that support our Scholars’ graduate schoolwork. Today, Goldwater alumni can be found conducting research that is helping defend the Nation, finding cures for catastrophic diseases, and teaching future generations of scientists, mathematicians, and engineers.


    GENERAL GUIDANCE FOR APPLICANTS: A competitive application requires planning, attention to detail, and sufficient time to work with individuals who can support the student’s application. All applicants need to plan appropriately. As materials are prepared, students should keep in mind that the Goldwater Scholarship is awarded to those who show the greatest potential for becoming one of the United States' next generations of research leaders in the natural sciences, mathematics, and engineering. All elements of an application should help the Foundation understand how you intend to be one of these leaders.

    General guidance when preparing an application:
    * Carefully read and review all of the required application information and materials.
    * Contact the Goldwater Scholarship Campus Representative (CR) as early as possible to inform the CR of your interest in applying. Carefully follow your CR’s instructions regarding the campus application process.
    * Know and stay on top of all deadlines (including those set by your institution’s CR and those established by the Goldwater Program).
    * After discussing prospective references with your CR and determining whom you will ask to write your letters of recommendation, contact your letter writers as early as possible–no less than a month, but ideally more than a month in advance of the campus deadline.
    * Work with individuals who can assist and provide feedback throughout the application process (i.e., Goldwater CR, mentors, and Letter of Recommendation writers).
    * Make certain the information provided is accurate and reported in a way that is asked for in the application.
    * Proofread, reflect, revise, and again proofread, reflect, revise–all application materials! Enlist others to review the application for science, grammar, format, etc.

    Well in advance of deadlines, make certain all application materials are in order (i.e., check with your CR).

    STEPS IN THE NOMINATION PROCESS – STUDENT

    STEP 1: Review the Goldwater Eligibility Requirements and figure out if you meet them as the following:
    * Meet the Goldwater Foundation’s definition of a college sophomore or junior.
    * Have a GPA ≥ 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
    * Intend to pursue a research career in the natural sciences, engineering, or mathematics.
    * Be a citizen or permanent resident.

    If you answered “yes” to these questions, then you are eligible for nomination for a Goldwater scholarship. You may review the Eligibility Requirements in full here.

    If you are worried that you are not competitive enough, do NOT “count yourself out” without first talking with your Goldwater Campus Representative.

    STEP 2: Identify Your School’s Goldwater Campus Representative (CR) by opening the Campus Representative Locator. If your school is not listed on the Locator, please contact the Goldwater Help Center at 507-931-8335 or by email at goldwater@scholarshipamerica.org.

    STEP 3: Complete a Student Profile and Pre-Application and Contact your Goldwater Campus Representative
    Complete the Student Profile and Goldwater Scholarship Pre-Application. When submitted, your student profile and pre-application are emailed to your Goldwater CR. This email to your Goldwater CR is nothing more than a conversation starter; it expresses your interest in learning more about the Goldwater scholarship. The information you provide is NOT used as part of your candidacy or in the selection process.

    If you do not hear from your CR in a reasonable period (e.g., in a week), contact your CR at the email address or telephone number provided in the Campus Representative Locator. If you are unable to contact this person, call or email the Goldwater Help Center. You must talk with your Goldwater CR before making any decisions about the competitiveness of your application for the program.  Do not count yourself out before talking to your Goldwater CR.

    STEP 4: Complete the Online Goldwater Application. The online application has several components, including:
    * Online questionnaire.
    * Research essay.
    * Three letters of recommendation.
    * Transcript(s).
    * For Permanent Residents, a copy of your Permanent Resident Card.

    STEP 5: Nomination:
    The names and the complete set of application materials for students selected as an institution’s Goldwater nominees must be uploaded to the Goldwater nomination site by an institution’s Campus Representative on or before the application deadline, the last Friday in January at 5:00 p.m. Central Time. Typically, CRs have an earlier final campus deadline by which they must have the nominees’ final materials. Check with your CR.

    Help: If you need help or assistance with any part of the application, contact the Goldwater Help Desk at 507-931-8335 or, by email, at goldwater@scholarshipamerica.org.


    THE APPLICATION DEADLINE FOR THE NEXT YEAR 2027  IS JANUARY 29TH, 2027 . PLEASE CHECK THE WEBSITE FOR UPDATED INFORMATION AND MORE DETAILS ABOUT THIS SCHOLARSHIP.

In addition to the skyrocketing costs of college tuition, the amounts students will need to pay for expenses such as housing and transportation have also increased significantly. Many students struggle to cover these costs, ensure they receive the proper education, and pursue their career goals. Students who attend college in states or regions of the country far away from their families will often face additional challenges and increased expenses, and they may be concerned that they will be unprepared to address these concerns.

    Law Office of Jae Lee Immigrant Student Scholarship
     

    At the Law Office of Jae Lee, we regularly represent clients in matters related to immigration. As a first-generation immigrant himself, Attorney Jae Lee understands the struggles that many families face and the difficulties they may encounter as they work to establish lives in the United States. Fortunately, there are many opportunities available for immigrants, and by pursuing education and job opportunities, they can not only support themselves and their families, but they can integrate into American society, participate in the community, and live happy, successful lives.

    To ensure that immigrants can pursue educational opportunities, our firm has created a scholarship program that provides assistance to first or second-generation immigrants from low-income families. We award one student with a scholarship of $1,000 each semester, which may be used to help pay for tuition or other educational expenses, such as books, supplies, or room and board.
     

    Who Is Eligible for the Immigrant Student Scholarship?

    With our scholarship program, we assist immigrant students who have a demonstrated need, helping them cover some of the costs of a college education. Students may apply for the scholarship if they meet the following requirements:

       * The student must be either a first or second-generation immigrant living in the United States.
       * The student’s family must be considered to be low-income, with an annual household income of less than                $50,000.
       * The student must be currently enrolled in or accepted for admission to a college, university, or graduate program.
       * The student must have a GPA of 4.0 or higher in their most recently completed academic semester.

     

    Your application must also include a written essay or video submission describing your family’s immigration story and discussing what separates you from others. Written essays may be up to 500 words long, and video essays may be up to five minutes. Your essay should answer the following questions:

    • Where did your family immigrate to the U.S. from, and how did they establish themselves in the country?
    • What experiences have shaped your life and made you who you are today?
    • What makes you unique or different from others?
    • What are your goals after you receive your college degree? What profession do you want to pursue? What are your personal goals?

    What Information Will Students Need to Submit With Their Application?

    When applying for the Immigrant Student Scholarship, please include contact information, including your name, address, and email address. We require proof of enrollment at a college or university, and you may upload your current academic transcript, a letter of acceptance, or other applicable documentation.


    How Will the Scholarship Winner Be Selected?

    To ensure that the Immigrant Student Scholarship will be awarded to a deserving student, we will review each application and essay closely. In addition to ensuring that all eligibility criteria have been met, we will consider how each applicant’s essay answers the questions above. We are looking for clear, well-written responses that demonstrate creativity and organization. Our goal is to assist an immigrant student who has a demonstrated need, ensuring that they will be able to pursue opportunities in the future.

    The purpose of the A-PRIZE is to put development of artificial life forms in the open where it should be. Today, many efforts at developing artificial life are not well publicized. The A-PRIZE will serve as a clearing house for information about the race to "Break the Carbon Barrier" With mega-universities and companies racing to create nonbiological life, now is the time for such a clearing house.It is awarded to the person or organization responsible for creating an Animat/Artificial life form with an emphasis on the safety of the researchers, public, and environment OR the person or organization who shows that an Animat/Artificial life form has been created. (The second case is to uncover unpublicized or unsafe projects).

    For nearly half a century, SETI efforts have Searched for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence. Instead of searching for alien life outside our planet, the Lifeboat Foundation has decided to take the opposite approach and to search for "alien" life on this planet. We call our efforts "Finding Artificial Life Created by Nanobiotechnology" (FALCN, which is pronounced like falcon).
    • Besides creating an animat, two additional items must be submitted to receive the prize:
      • (1) a description of the measures taken by the researchers to ensure the safety of researchers, the public, and the environment during the course of the research

    Neysa Fanwick Memorial Scholarship Endowment

    The Neysa Fanwick Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to a master’s degree candidate in social work dedicated to addressing injustices within various systems, including, but not limited to, criminal justice, foster care, healthcare, and education. These candidates will demonstrate a commitment to developing innovative solutions that foster positive change, with experience working in health and mental health settings. Applications will be evaluated based on their alignment with the fund’s mission.


    About The Scholarship And Its Namesake

    In the optimistic spirit of the soulful and spirited humanitarian, Neysa Fanwick, this endowment will help support the education of MSW students who are taking action to help vulnerable populations. Potential candidates will have worked in mental health fields helping to solve the most critical, emerging social and health problems with creative solutions.

    As a global citizen and experienced social worker, Neysa helped vulnerable people who were faced with an array of mental health issues.  She advocated for people who were unfairly treated by oppressive practices in the criminal justice system, foster care, and education systems to help these individuals recognize their strengths, rights, and potential for change.  She explored ways in which young people could be empowered through education, skills-development, and mentoring.  Neysa believed in the power of the individual and community to make real change on a larger scale.   

    Neysa earned her MSW from Tulane University. Those who worked with her called her a natural leader.  Working for several years at NO/AIDS in New Orleans, Neysa’s colleagues said she was known as an “angel,” helping those at risk.  “Neysa’s smile, laugh, and voice are definitely missed around our office, as she will be forever. She had the gift of making an impact on those she met, and those of us at NO/AIDS all felt that. The community has lost a beautiful soul, one that can never be replaced, and certainly will never be forgotten.”

    Outside of work, Neysa volunteered in Thailand teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) and in New Orleans with GIRLS, INC - an organization aligned with her values and with her commitment to empower young women.  She completed her certification to become an official volunteer with the Orleans Parish Police Department Mobile Crisis Unit Team – and she fostered dogs.  Neysa’s compassion knew no bounds. And it is in this spirit that the Neysa Fanwick Endowment Scholarship will celebrate her compassion and instill her caring approach in a new generation of social workers.


    Neysa Fanwick Memorial Scholarship Guidelines

    The Neysa Fanwick Memorial Scholarship Endowment is awarded based on the projected annual earnings to the fund and contributions. A panel reviews applicants and selects the award recipient.

    One scholarship of $5,000 will be given each year, contingent upon the earnings being sufficient to sustain this sum.

    To apply, students must be a member of NASW and have applied to, or have been accepted into, an accredited MSW program (payment of the award will be contingent on the full admission of the candidate into the program). 

    No minimum grade point average (GPA) is required, but applicant should demonstrate strong graduation potential.

    STEM Stars Actuarial Scholars Program


    STEM Stars Actuarial Scholars Program
    STEM Stars is a new scholarship program from The Actuarial Foundation and Founding Partner of the Society of Actuaries (SOA). The primary goal of the STEM Stars Program is to increase the representation and inclusion of individuals from social, cultural, and economic backgrounds who have historically been underrepresented in the actuarial profession. Through this unique program, we empower and equip students with tools that will make them stand out as industry professionals and connections they can rely on in their future careers. There is clear and compelling evidence that a more diverse and representative workforce brings new perspectives and ideas and supports innovation, inclusion, and impact. 

    If you are interested in Becoming an Actuary and also, if you think a career as an actuary may be for you, then consider applying for the STEM Stars Actuarial Scholars Program. You'll get $5,000 of financial support per year throughout college, a summer orientation, access to mentors, and other opportunities to build your job experience.

    Additionally, if You Like Math and Business, then you will love being an actuary! Hear firsthand from professionals about what it means to be an actuary and what they love about their jobs. As a STEM Stars Scholar, you'll receive mentoring and support from actuaries in the industry.


    STEM Stars offers:
    * $20,000 in college scholarships ($5,000 annually for four years)
    * Mentoring by practicing actuaries and professionals
    * Exposure to summer internships and job shadowing opportunities
    * Access to multiple exam resources
    * Recognition as a member of the STEM Stars program
    * Participation in a free weeklong Summer Intensive Workshop


    You should apply for STEM Stars because:
    An aspiring actuary can look forward to a well-paying and long-tenured career. Early-career actuaries can earn between $50,000 and $70,000, and compensation generally increases in line with the number of exams passed and years of experience. Although the “traditional” career placement route for actuarial sciences students has been in the insurance industry, there are emerging, high-growth opportunities in data analysis, operations research, predictive analytics, and market research.

    Applications:
    The Actuarial Foundation, The International Association of Black Actuaries (IABA), the Organization of Latinx Actuaries (OLA), the Sexuality and Gender Alliance of Actuaries (SAGAA), and the South Asian Network of Actuaries (SANA) ensure the future of the actuarial profession through its scholarships and reimbursement programs. Recipients of Foundation scholarships are selected by representatives of the actuarial profession, who may one day be their peers. So, not only are these scholarships a means to offset the cost of education, but they also serve as a prestigious recognition by a highly rated profession.

    Applications Are Now Open 
    SAGAA (Sexuality and Gender Alliance of Actuaries) furthers its mission by awarding scholarships to LGBTQ+ actuarial students attending a US, Canadian, or West Indies college or university. Applications will be evaluated on various criteria including, but not limited to: need, actuarial exams, college GPA, commitment to pursuing the actuarial profession (e.g., actuarial coursework, exams, and internships), and extracurricular experience (actuarial and LGBTQ), especially if in the leadership. For scholarship applicants who are also interested in summer internships or full-time jobs, resumes will be forwarded to our sponsoring employers who are passionate about hiring LGBTQ+ actuarial students. They will reach out for potential interviews.
