MSU has announced the four undergraduate nominees for the National Barry Goldwater Scholarship. The students are nominated based on academic achievement as well as research work in the STEM fields. “The purpose of the Foundation is to provide a continuing source of highly qualified scientists, mathematicians, and engineers by awarding scholarships to college students who intend to pursue research careers in these fields,” according to the scholarship foundation's website. For chemical engineering junior Laura Azouz all the hard work has paid off. “I was excited, but it also made me motivated to try and improve my application for the national portion of it,” Azouz said. Azouz said she has a different perspective than most students because of her growing up across the pond in Cairo, Egypt. Azouz said Rebecca Carlson, one of last year’s scholarship award winners encouraged her to apply. “Without the support I have from all of my professors at MSU and all the opportunities I had here I don’t think I would have been able to apply. All four nominees are a part of the Honors College.
