Scholarship to be expanded
The Board of Trustees of the Harry S.
Truman Scholarship' Foundation has ap
proved an expansion of the Truman
Scholarship Program by 26 scholars to a total
of 79 scholars on a trial-basis for the 1980-81
academic year only, according to Honorable
John W. Snyder, chairman of the Board of
Trustees.
He said the Board of Trustees approved
the one-year trial expansion “after careful^
study of the Foundation’s available reserves.”
Under the expansion plan, 26 scholars-at-
large will be named for the 1980-81 academic
year in addition to the 53 scholars that
normally are selected aimually. The 26
scholars-at-large will be recommended to the
Board by the Foundation’s 13 Regional
Review Panels. Each review panel will
.recommend two scholars-at-large and name
two alternates, Mr. Snyder said. Thus, the
total program for 1980-81 will be 79 scholars,
he added, stressing that the expansion is
currently being conducted on a trial-basis and
that the Boaxd of Trustees will discuss and
review the possibility of permanently
expanding the number of scholars during its
scheduled meeting in April.
Mr. Snyder said he believes the expansion
of the program will be particularly helpful in
generating more awareness of and participa
tion in The Truman Scholarship Program.
Foundation Executive Secretary Malcolm
McCormack said that the Foundation’s
endowment, which was established by
Congress, is currently generating sufficient
funds to permit this one-time expansion.
“Simply speaking,” he added, “at this time
we have the funds available to support this
trial-basis expansion of the Foundation’s
scholarships.”
Since it began operations three years ago,
the Truman Scholarship Foundation an
nually has awarded 53 scholarships— one to
a resident nominee in each of the 50 states,
the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and,
considered as a single entity, Guam, the
Virgin Islands, American Samoa and the
Pacific Trust Territories. Recently the first of
