LAWRENCE Four University of Kansas students who have been actively involved in undergraduate research during their university careers are competing for Barry M. Goldwater Scholarships, regarded as the premier undergraduate award to encourage excellence in science, engineering and mathematics.
The students’ applications are coordinated by the Office of Fellowships in Undergraduate Studies.
KU’s nominees:
Emma Cosner, a junior majoring in chemistry and minoring in physics
Mary Sevart, a sophomore majoring in chemical engineering
Jonah Stiel, a junior majoring in chemistry.
Sixty-eight KU students have received Goldwater scholarships since they first were awarded in 1989. Congress established the program in 1986 in tribute to the retired U.S. senator from Arizona and to ensure a continuing source of highly qualified scientists, mathematicians and engineers.
