Warning

Please be aware that there is an ongoing scam with someone pretending to be the Barry Goldwater Scholarship & Excellence in Education Foundation. The scammers are going by the “Barry Gold Scholarship” or “Barry Gold Grant Program”. They are sending fraudulent emails and checks to students. These emails and checks are NOT associated with the Barry Goldwater Scholarship & Excellence in Education Foundation. We are a federal agency and only use our official .gov domain to communicate with our scholars. We suggest you report this fraudulent activity and ‘scholarship’ link to your university, report the email addresses as phishing, and report it to the proper authorities.
