   The Truman Foundation identifies aspiring leaders at an important inflection point in their development – when they are college juniors – and recognize and reward their commitments to careers in public service. Although certainly accomplished, many are still largely untested. Yet when you look at what the now more than 3,300 Truman Scholars have achieved, our risk-taking is paying off.
