<p>2013 Truman Scholarships Announced</p>
<p>The Truman Scholarship program was created by Congress to recognize and support undergraduates with an interest in public affairs and clear leadership abilities. Truman Scholarships are awarded to juniors in college and they have frequently gone on to win other major scholarships including the Rhodes and Marshall.</p>
<p>The mission of the Truman Scholarship Foundation is:</p>
<p> to find and recognize college juniors with exceptional leadership potential who are committed to careers in government, the nonprofit or advocacy sectors, education or elsewhere in the public service; and</p>
<p> to provide them with financial support for graduate study, leadership training, and fellowship with other students who are committed to making a difference through public service.</p>
<p>This year, eight universities shared first place with two Scholars each. They were Cornell, Duke, Louisiana State, Macalester, Stanford, Swarthmore, the U.S. Military Academy and the University of Puerto Rico. Within the Ivy League, only Cornell, Dartmouth and Penn had Scholars. Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Brown and Columbia had none.</p>
