Each year, as a university, BU is permitted to nominate four students (sophomores or juniors) for the Goldwater Scholarship, the premier national recognition for exceptional undergraduate STEM students. For the first time, all four BU student nominees were honored as Goldwater Scholars:
- Andrea Cheng (Chemistry)
- Arnaldo Franco (Biology/Life Sciences)
- Salvatore Pace (Physics and Astronomy)
- Linda Zuckerman (Chemistry)
They were selected for their dedication and accomplishments in their respective academic field. You can read more about the scholarship and the work of these students here.
