Associate Professor of Law and Belmont University College of Law’s Director of Academic Success Dr. Tracey Carter will serve on the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation’s Regional Review Panel in Nashville on Tuesday, March 13. Carter (1993 Truman Scholar) and other panelists will be interviewing the 2018 Truman Scholarship Finalists from Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee, and the 2018 Class of Truman Scholars will be announced in April 2018.
The Truman Scholarship is a very competitive national scholarship and is considered “the premier graduate fellowship in the United States for those pursuing careers as public service leaders.” The Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation “awards merit-based scholarships to college students who plan to pursue careers in government or elsewhere in public service. Truman Scholars receive up to $30,000 for graduate or professional school, participate in leadership development activities, and have special opportunities for internships and employment with the federal government.”
