The Office of Prestigious Awards and Student Success are thrilled to announce that all five endorsees for the Goldwater Scholarship are receiving the final award. This achievement – made possible by the outstanding research merits of the students – is an unprecedented first for the University of Florida. Congratulations to Cole English, Jacques "JP" Fleischer, Julia Jamieson, Dorothy Ware, and Izabela Zmirska.
Becoming a Goldwater Scholar is highly competitive. Just a maximum of five students are endorsed each year per higher education institution. The scholarship supports sophomore and junior undergraduates committed to research-focused careers in mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering. It is the premier scholarship for undergraduates in STEM fields.
