The Truman Scholarship
The Truman is a very competitive national scholarship. Each year, the Foundation reviews over 600 applications for our 60 to 65 Scholarships awarded annually. These 600 applications do not include the students who compete on their own campus for one of a school’s four nominations.
Although the award is competitive, we hope that our application process - while challenging - is straightforward. We hope that by providing clear information to all prospective applicants we enable everyone to produce the best application possible.
Amount: $30,000
Eligibility:
Applicants must be in the upper quarter of their Junior class. Applicants must have a 3.0 GPA, be a U.S. citizen or U.S. national and have a major that permits admission to a graduate program leading to a career in government or public service.
Deadline: February 6, 2008
