Every year, hundreds of students are nominated by their institutions for the Truman Scholarship based on their records of leadership, public service and academic achievement. Two University of New Mexico nominees, Lizbeth Olivarez and Andrew Schumann, were selected and announced as finalists by the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation today. The pair are two of 189 Truman Scholar finalists selected from this year’s pool of 705 nominations representing 275 institutions.
Truman Scholars demonstrate outstanding leadership potential, a commitment to a career in government or the nonprofit sector and academic excellence. Each Truman Scholar receives funding for graduate studies, leadership training, career counseling and special internship and fellowship opportunities within the federal government.
