From an estimated pool of over 5,000 college sophomores and juniors nationwide, Drake had two recipients of the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship Program: Colton Sleister, chemistry and BCMB major, and Lorien MacEnulty, physics and astronomy major. Both students will receive scholarships of up to $7,500 a year to help cover costs associated with tuition, mandatory fees, books, and room and board.

The Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program was established in 1986 and is considered the most prestigious award in the United States to undergraduates in mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering. The award honors the excellence demonstrated by our students in the sciences as well as the University. Academic Institutions may nominate up to four students every year.
