I had never heard of them but the Goldwater Scholarships are, perhaps, the most prestigious awards in science, math and engineering at the college level. You may have never heard of Mass Bay Community College but two students of the college were awarded Goldwater Scholarships this year. This year Mass Bay is the only college in a state that includes Harvard and MIT to have two winners. This is not a fluke as over the past eleven years Mass Bay has produced fourteen winners, more than all the other community colleges in the country combined.
The icing on the cake is that one of the winners is learning disabled, the other a single mother.
