Three WSU students received awards from the Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation.
Over 5,000 students from 438 institutions across the country applied to be nominated, and 1,256 went on to be nominated for the award, according to the foundation’s website.
Selected students must study natural science, engineering or mathematics. Of those nominated, 409 students received the $7,500 award, according to the website.
India Dykes, junior bioengineering major, spent months working on the application, and was excited when she found out she won.
“I felt like it was really validating to have my research recognized since I’ve worked on it for the last two years,” she said.

THE BUZZ WHERE’S DONALD? The embattled California Republican Party, once home to the Reagan Revolution, has enthusiastically embraced a longshot plan for its political comeback after years of declining voter registration.
