Eugene, OR – According to the state officials, Mendez, Gragg and Velez are three of 438 Goldwater Scholars selected from more than 1,300 students nominated by 446 academic institutions in the United States.

Sophomores and juniors studying natural science, engineering or mathematics are eligible for the scholarship.

The Goldwater Scholarship is the top undergraduate award in the majors it covers, said LeAnn Adam, OSU’s Goldwater campus representative, and applicants must be planning a career in research.

Each recipient receives a maximum of $7,500 to use for any part of tuition, fees, books, and room and board for the 2024-25 school year not covered through support from other sources.
