 Each year, the Truman Scholarship is awarded to one or two students from institutions that have never had a Truman Scholar.Scholars currently receive an award of $30,000 going toward up to three years of graduate education leading to a career in the public service.Winners also benefit from a network of other scholars through the Truman Scholars Association and lasting friendship, which is encouraged by the Truman Scholars Leadership Week at William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri, and the Truman Library in Independence, Missouri, during which new scholars collaborate on policy projects.
