All should be submitted as email attachments (.doc, .docx, or .pdf format) to me (Kate Smith: ksmith02@wesleyan.edu) by 12:00 noon, Monday, November 30.

You can make an appointment to meet with me or speak via Skype (for those studying abroad!) online to discuss the Goldwater Scholarship, the process and your application.
