The Truman Scholarship
Foundation looks like a really good oppurtunity for our undergrads
to know about. The Truman Foundation gives out up to $30,000 to undergrads
who are planning to pursue graduate degrees in public service fields
(though it looks like reviews can begin as early as sophomore or jr
year so info needs to get out there early...). Applications to the foundation
are due February 7, 2005, though UCSD may have an earlier deadline
- I don't know. The faculty rep here at UCSD this year to contact about
it is:
University of
California-San Diego
Dr. Ross Frank
Professor, Ethnic Studies
phone: (858)534-1067
email: robayashi@ucsd.edu
Truman's website:
http://www.truman.gov/
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.
