Scholarship information and opportunities session: Tuesday, Sept. 3, at 6:15 p.m. in the Drake Room located on the upper level of the Olmsted Center.

Do you want adventure, prestige, career opportunities? All these are possible with Truman (juniors) and Fulbright (seniors and above) scholarships. There is still time to find out about and apply for these wonderful scholarships/grants. The Fulbright application is due on Oct. 8 with a Drake campus due date of Sept. 20; and the Truman Scholarship is due at the beginning of November.

Come and find out more about these opportunities on Tuesday, Sept. 3, at 6:15 p.m. in upper Olmsted’s Drake Room.

Fulbrights are open to graduating seniors, and also to recent graduates who are not enrolled in a degree program at another school or university. They provide valuable international experience and funding for teaching English or working on projects or attending a graduate program in another country. Time is short as applications are due at Drake by the end of September, but there is still enough time to pursue certain Fulbrights such as English Teaching opportunities, so come to the information session and find out more.

Trumans are for enterprising juniors who are involved in U.S. government, politics, journalism or other meaningful community activities and who see a future in active community involvement. These scholarships are due in November, so there is still time to apply. These grants provide funding for graduate work in leadership and effective community involvement. Both Truman and Fulbright awards are nationally recognized scholarships and carry a lot of prestige. We hope you’ll attend the information session to find out more about these wonderful opportunities!
