The three were chosen from a pool of 1,200 natural science, engineering and mathematics students who were nominated by 443 academic institutions. Goldwater Scholars have impressive academic and research credentials that have garnered the attention of prestigious post-graduate fellowship programs.  A maximum of three scholars are awarded to any single university and this is the first year that Wake Forest has had three winners.
