Truman Fellowship
Rebekah Powers <rjpowers@wlu.edu>
The Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation, established by Congress
in honor of the 33rd president, provides opportunities for
outstanding students to prepare for careers in public service.
Public service is broadly understood as participation in government
and related public service, and potential leadership ability is
emphasized.
One scholarship is awarded each year to a resident nominee in each
of the 50 states; in addition, 30-40 scholars-at-large may be
chosen. Nominees must be full-time students who will be seniors in
the forthcoming academic year. Truman scholars receive up to $30,000
for graduate school.
Washington and Lee may nominate candidates who have at least a B
average and rank in the top third of their class. The specific major
of prospective candidates is less important than the desire to enter
public service. Science majors interested in public health or the
environment, for example, may be competitive candidates, along with
those majoring in the humanities or social sciences. The candidates
will be chosen on the basis of their academic record and potential
for leadership in public service.
Indicate Interest By: mid-October
Campus Deadline: Last Day of Fall Classes
Truman Deadline: Early February
Liaison: Professor Rebecca Harris (Politics)
