Truman Scholarship
The mission of the Truman Scholarship Foundation is to find and recognize college juniors 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. The Foundation awards scholarships of up to $30,000 toward a public service-related graduate degree.
This award requires an institutional nomination which means that you must go through MSU’s internal process and compete for the nomination. This process is coordinated by the National/International Fellowships and Scholarships (NIFS) Office. The deadline to submit materials is November 1. You are encouraged to work with the NIFS Office on your application.
