Scholarships for Current Students
Scholarships made possible by private gifts are essential for Truman to
remain competitive in the marketplace of the very highly selective
private counterparts in the Midwest. Studies show that a large
percentage of Truman students come from middle-income families, work
part-time and view affordability as an important criteria. Scholarships
are awarded to deserving students based upon leadership potential,
merit, financial need, area of interest, academic achievement or other
University-approved criteria as recommended by donors.
