While the Goldwater scholarship is new compared to, say, the Rhodes, I was curious about the track record of winners compared to the Rhodes, Churchill, Fulbright. For that matter, NSF Fellowships too.
Wiki had nothing on this, but since the award started in 86 and these days it takes a lot longer than it used to to train scientists, get them a position, etc., maybe it is expecting too much to see a bunch of Nobelists, Fields medalists, Turing winners, etc.
Or do you think that great scientists rarely distinguish themselves as undergrads?
