Purpose: The Harry S Truman Foundation Scholarship
Program gives college juniors interested in public service
careers the opportunity to refine career goals and plan
graduate studies by encouraging applicants to reflect on
social issues and needs that they want to address.
Programs Funded: Foundation Scholarships award up to $30,000
for graduate studies in the U.S. or abroad in
public administration, public policy analysis, law, public
health, international relations, government, economics,
social services delivery, education, human resource
development, conservation, environmental protection, and
other relevant fields.
Truman Scholars also participate in substantial summer leadership development
programs in Washington, D.C..
Eligibility: Candidates are nominated by their
colleges/universities. Nominees must be U.S citizens or
nationals who are juniors in the upper quarter of the class,
and who are committed to a career in public service. This
may include employment in government at any level, uniformed
services, public-interest organizations, nongovernmental
research and/or educational organizations, public and
private schools, and public service-oriented nonprofit
organizations such as those whose primary purposes are to
help needy or disadvantaged persons or to protect the
environment. All majors are eligible.
Selection Criteria: Screening focuses on the extent
and quality of community service and government involvement,
demonstrated commitment to careers in public service,
academic performance, writing and analytical skills,
leadership abilities, and the suitability of the nominee's
proposed program of study for a career in public service.
Application/Nomination Process: On-campus deadlines
are normally in November. Interested students should begin work on their
application well in advance, as the application requires
several essays, including close analysis of a public policy
issue. Pomona may nominate a limited number of students. One
Scholar or more is selected from each state, and up to 30
additional Scholars are selected at large.
