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

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.
