Description

Calling all Johns Hopkins juniors with significant leadership experience and a commitment to public service.

The Truman Scholarship recognizes exceptional readiness for a career in government or public service. Truman Scholars receive up to $30,000 for graduate studies, participate in leadership development programs, and have special opportunities for internships and employment with the federal government. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or nationals, residents of American Samoa, or expecting their citizenship by the date of the award; be in their penultimate year of school (for candidates graduating in four years or more) or in their final year of school (for candidates graduating in three years or fewer); and be planning to attend graduate school in pursuit of a career in public service.

To learn more, please join Johns Hopkins' Truman campus representative, John Milstead of the National Fellowships Program, for one of two virtual information sessions for interested students:

  • Nov. 6, at noon EST
  • Nov. 11, at 5 p.m. EST

Eligibility is limited to juniors, but first- and second-year students are also encouraged to attend.

Johns Hopkins can nominate up to four students to the national Truman competition. To be considered for a nomination, applicants should submit a pre-application by Nov. 17 at 9 a.m. EST using the instructions on NFP's Canvas course for Truman applicants. To be added to the Canvas course, please send a brief request with your JHED to nfp@jhu.edu.
