Step1
Make sure you meet the criteria: that you are a woman, an American citizen, and a doctoral candidate in physics, chemistry, biology, meteorology, engineering, computer science or mathematics.
Step2
Keep in mind that financial need doesn't matter. Neither does race, age, religion or ethnic background.
Step3
Check to see if your university is either a "designated institution" or an "invited institution" that receives funds for the fellowship. If not, then you aren't eligible to apply.
Step4
Contact your university's fellowships office for specific information about application procedures, as the fellowships are administered on a campus-by-campus basis. Deadlines and supporting materials also vary by campus.
Step5
Notify professors and teaching assistants well ahead of time about any letters of recommendation you need from them.
Step6
Apply well before the application deadline to avoid the risk of missing it.

How to Apply for a Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship
Convinced you are going to go broke paying for your college education? If you're a college sophomore or junior working toward a degree in science or mathematics, a Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship could provide you with up to $7,500 annually for tuition, fees, books, room and board, if you qualify.
Step1
Make certain you qualify. You must be either a full-time sophomore or junior pursuing an undergraduate degree at an accredited college or university; have a GPA of at least a "B"; be in the upper 25% of your class; and be either a U.S. citizen, a resident alien or a U.S. national.
Step2
Find out who the Goldwater Scholarship Faculty representative is on your campus and express your interest in being nominated for the scholarship. You can usually find this out from your institution's scholarship office or by contacting the Goldwater Foundation through their Web site (act.org/goldwater) or by calling them at (703) 756-6012.
Step3
Start on your application early. Faculty representatives typically receive nomination forms and related materials in late August and the completed application and materials must be received by the Goldwater Foundation by February 1 of the following year.
Step4
Talk with present and former teachers, teaching assistants and even employers about letters of recommendation, which must be completed according to the Foundation's standards and must be presented on official forms to be considered as part of your application.
Step5
Consider your essay of approximately 600 words. The essay should relate to current and future plans regarding your studies and prospective career.
Step6
Get together all peripheral materials that must be sent with the application. Nominees must provide official copies of all high school and college transcripts, including the most current semester, if available.
Step7
Consult your faculty representative about students who have previously received a Goldwater Scholarship. Talk with these previous award winners about their insight into the application process and see if they have any helpful tips.
Step8
Keep in mind that research experience, and demonstrating your interest in pursuing an advanced degree in mathematics, the natural sciences and some engineering fields, will help to make you a stronger candidate.
