Scholarships
Truman Scholarship
The mission of the Truman Scholarship Foundation is:
* to find and recognize college juniors (defined as having one year of school left after the application year) with exceptional leadership potential who are committed to careers in government, the nonprofit or advocacy sectors, education or elsewhere in the public service; and
* to provide them with financial support for graduate study, leadership training, and fellowship with other students who are committed to making a difference through public service.
CONDITIONS OF ELIGIBILITY
Candidates must be nominated by their current institution of higher education or by their two-year institution if they are transfer students from community colleges or junior colleges. Applications are not accepted directly from candidates. Each nominee must be:
* a full-time junior-level student at a four-year institution pursuing a bachelor's degree during the 2008-2009 academic year. "Junior" here means a student who plans to continue full-time undergraduate study and who expects to receive a baccalaureate degree between December 2009 and August 2010, a student in his or her second or third year of collegiate study who expects to graduate during the 2008-2009 academic year, or a senior-level student who is a resident of Puerto Rico or the Islands,
* committed to a career in public service as defined above,
* in the upper quarter of his or her class, and
* a United States citizen or a United States national from American Samoa or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Resident aliens (green card holders) are not eligible.
