Description

The Harry S. Truman Scholarship award is the nation's most prestigious domestic award for undergraduate students. The Truman Foundation recognizes college juniors with leadership potential who are committed to careers in government, the nonprofit advocacy sectors, education, or elsewhere in public service by providing them with financial support for graduate study, leadership training and fellowship with other students. Truman finalists are selected based on their records of leadership, public service and academic achievement. Recipients have the opportunity to interact with other students who are committed to making a difference through public service. Most Truman Scholars seek juris doctors or master's and doctoral degrees in public administration, public policy, public health, international relations, government, economics, social services, education, urban planning, conservation and environmental protection. Some Scholars have pursued medical, physical science or even business degrees - but those Scholars were able to clearly demonstrate how these degrees would further their careers in public service.  Scholars who are proposing multiple degrees will need to clearly state the case for why all degrees are needed to pursue their career in public service.
