Alvin Villarosa ’25 Named Barry Goldwater Scholar
|
|
Alvin Villarosa ’25, a Science Management major with a Neuroscience concentration, has been awarded the prestigious Barry Goldwater Scholarship, the highest governmental honor for undergraduate STEM researchers. Awarded to college sophomores and juniors who show exceptional promise of becoming the next generation of research leaders, the Goldwater Scholarship is among the oldest and most sought-after undergraduate scholarships in the natural sciences, engineering, and mathematics fields. Eleven Claremont McKenna students have been named Goldwater Scholars since Congress established the scholarship in 1986 to honor U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater.
