Description
Join UMBC's Office of Undergraduate Research and Prestigious Scholarships for an information and interest session for the Goldwater Scholarship Program on Friday, September 12, from 12n-12:50pm in AD 101.
The Goldwater Scholarship program is a highly competitive national scholars program in the natural sciences, engineering, and mathematics. The program limits the number of students that each University may nominate for consideration. For this reason, UMBC has an internal application process for selecting our nominees that begins early in the Fall semester.
If you are interested in learning more about the Goldwater Scholars program and UMBC's internal application process, please attend this session!
