The Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation administers the Truman Scholarship, a federal graduate fellowship awarded to U.S. college juniors demonstrating leadership potential and a commitment to public service. The scholarship provides $30,000 for graduate study and was created by Congress in 1975 as a living memorial to the 33rd president. Based in Washington, D.C., the foundation operates as an independent federal agency within the civic and social organizations sector.

The program targets students nationwide who aspire to public service careers, selecting scholars on the basis of leadership qualities and service orientation. It maintains partnerships with colleges and other organizations to broaden opportunities for Truman Scholars, including collaborations such as Dartmouth College’s efforts to create pathways for scholars to pursue a law degree. The organization employs a small team to administer its programs.
