Two KU students have won Barry M. Goldwater Scholarships in a national competition offered to encourage excellence in science and mathematics. The scholarships were created to pay tribute to retired U.S. Sen. Goldwater of Arizona. Ten students from Kansas were named Goldwater recipients for the 1996-97 academic year.
Winners are eligible for two years of support.
KU takes pride in their success and in this achievement. Thirteen KU students, including Chen and Shipley, have been named Goldwater Scholars since the first scholarships were offered in 1989.
