Truman Scholarship

The Harry S. Truman Scholarship is a merit-based grant which identifies college juniors with exceptional leadership potential who are committed to careers in government, the nonprofit or advocacy sectors, education or elsewhere in public service. Recipients are provided with financial support for graduate study, leadership training, and fellowship with other students who are committed to making a difference through public service. Juniors in the upper quartile of their class are eligible (exceptions can be made). All fields of study are eligible. University endorsement required. Typically, universities are limited to four nominations. Clemson’s campus nomination process begins at the start of the fall semester.
