Carolyn Curley (Biochemistry, ’23) is one of just seven recipients from Maine to be awarded a Goldwater Scholarship. She joins five other students from the University of New England to become Goldwater Scholars since 2008 and is the first at UNE to receive the scholarship since 2020.
Established in 1986 in honor of former U.S. Senator and 1964 presidential candidate Barry Goldwater, the Goldwater Scholarship was created to encourage outstanding students to pursue research careers in mathematics, the natural sciences, or engineering and to foster excellence in those fields.
This year, the foundation awarded 417 students with scholarships out of an estimated pool of over 5,000 college sophomores and juniors from 433 academic institutions.
