A bill introduced Thursday by Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik seeks to reform the federally funded Truman Scholarship Foundation, whose leaders have doled out the prestigious scholarships overwhelmingly to left-wing students for the last decade.
Each year, the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation provides $30,000 to about 50 students for graduate school in exchange for pledging three years of work in public service.
The “Truman Scholarship Clean House Act” comes after annual research conducted by The College Fix found that of the 653 winners from 2015 to 2025, only 29 conservative recipients were identified compared to 397 liberals, based on their public bios, LinkedIn profiles, and social media accounts.
The Fix’s research also showed how the program is a left-wing talent pipeline, as it spawns Democratic and progressive careers over Republican and conservative ones by a margin of 35 to 1.
