UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE ACADEMIC HALL OF FAME
                         TRUMAN SCHOLARS FROM U. LOUISVILLE

The Harry S. Truman Scholarship , created by an Act of Congress, is a highly competitive federal
scholarship granted to U.S. college juniors for demonstrated leadership potential and a
commitment to public service. The scholarship, in the amount of $30,000, is to go towards a graduate
education.

The Truman is very competitive. Each year, the Foundation reviews over 600 applications
for our 55 to 65 Scholarships awarded annually. These 600 applications do not include the students
who compete on their own campus for one of a school's four
nominations.

Awards are made in the spring.
