Three U of A Students Named Goldwater Scholars

Three University of Arkansas students were awarded the highly competitive Goldwater Scholarship, an honor established by Congress in 1986 to support college students pursuing research careers in science, mathematics and engineering.

Student researchers Abhinav Komanduri, Jared Noel and Ian Popp will receive $7,500 from the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship Foundation.

"Research is a core enterprise at the University of Arkansas, and undergraduate research is a key component of that research," said Charles Robinson, chancellor. "It is an important aspect of our approach to teaching as well. Congratulations to them, their research mentors, their departments, and their colleges."

With these three new recipients, 67 U of A students have earned this prestigious recognition since its inception.
