Four Rutgers University–New Brunswick students have been selected as Goldwater Scholars, a prestigious national honor for undergraduates who plan to pursue research careers in the natural sciences, mathematics and engineering.

Elisa Bu Sha, Julianne Chan, Anisha Jackson and Annie Wei are studying neurobiology, environmental contaminants in water, regenerative tissue engineering and higher-level mathematics.

Rutgers–New Brunswick was the top institution in New Jersey for Goldwater Scholars, said Anne Wallen, director of the Office of Distinguished Fellowships at Rutgers–New Brunswick.
