First-, second-, and third-year students are invited to join us to learn about the Truman Scholarship! The Truman Scholarship awards merit-based $30,000 scholarships to college juniors who are US citizens/nationals, who plan to pursue careers in government or in public service (broadly defined), and who wish to attend graduate or professional school to help prepare for their careers. Applicants should be “change agents,” with a demonstrated passion for improving the ways that government agencies, nonprofit organizations, or educational institutions serve the public.

The Goldwater Foundation awards undergraduate scholarships to sophomores and juniors who have outstanding potential, an exceptional academic record with research experience, and intend to earn a PhD or Master's degree in a STEM field pursuing a research career in mathematics, the natural sciences, or engineering.  Each scholarship provides up to a maximum of $7,500 annually for up to two years of undergraduate study.
