HARRY S. TRUMAN LIBRARY INSTITUTE
Undergraduate Student
Research Grant Program
The Harry S. Truman Library Institute for National and International Affairs is the private, non-profit partner of the Harry S. Truman Library. The Institute's purpose is to foster the Truman Library as a center for research and as a provider of educational and public programs. Applications for funding will be considered by the Institute's Committee on Research, Scholarship and Academic Relations.
Undergraduate Student Grant
Grants of up to $1,000 are awarded to undergraduate students writing senior theses on some aspect of the life and career of Harry S. Truman or of the public and foreign policy issues which were prominent during the Truman years. Awards are intended to offset expenses for research conducted at the Truman Library. One Undergraduate Student Grant will normally be awarded each year provided high quality applications are received.
Application Requirement:
Applicants must describe in writing the proposed project and its rationale, and indicate how a research experience at the Truman Library will contribute to the applicant's future development.
Deadline:
September 30. The Committee will notify applicants in writing of its decision within six weeks after the deadline date.
Budgets:
Budgets are calculated on the following basis: 1) $75 per day for lodging and meals. The cost of area ground transportation (airport shuttles, cabs, local bus service, etc.) will not be reimbursed separately. The per diem allowance is expected to cover such costs or will be the responsibility of the grantee. 2) Airfare based on the best advance coach fare available. 3) Up to $100 allowance for photocopying. 4) Roundtrip mileage for grantees using personal vehicles to drive in is currently reimbursable at 37.5 cents per mile (subject to change).
End-of-Grant Reporting Responsibilities: Grantees will provide the following to the Institute: 1) A copy of any thesis based in part on grant-funded research at the Truman Library. 2) A statement of approximately 500 words which describes the grantee's thesis and the contribution toward its development made by research conducted at the Truman Library. Grantees give the Institute the right to publish this statement if it chooses to do so.
