Truman Scholarship Clean House Act: New Rules for Public Service Awards
This bill reforms the Truman Scholarship Foundation by restructuring its board and setting stricter eligibility rules for students. It aims to ensure political balance in selection and requires recipients to commit to public service careers or repay the funds.
Key points
Dissolves the current board and creates a new 13-member board with limited political affiliation.
Disqualifies students with felony convictions or those suspended/expelled from their universities.
Requires scholarship repayment with 6% interest if the recipient fails to work in public service for 3 out of 7 years.
Mandates permanent public access to foundation records, including press releases and scholar biographies.
