Important Changes in the 2025 Goldwater Competition:
AI Question – A question about AI usage in the preparation of an application is being
added to the student online application. This question is for Foundation use only!
Students’ answers to this question will NOT be provided to the reviewers and will not be
used as part of the student selection process.
High School Projects – Unless mentored by a college or university faculty member,
students should not include research done in high school in their applications.
