Federal $30,000 scholarships granted to zero self-described conservatives in 2018 | The College Fix

Federal $30,000 scholarships granted to zero self-described conservatives in 2018 | The College Fix
"Program is billed as nonpartisan but stats show otherwise
None of the nearly 60 recipients of a prestigious $30,000 federal scholarship granted in 2018 reported that they had ever worked for a Republican political candidate or conservative organization, according to an analysis by The College Fix.
The lucrative Truman Scholar awards are given to college juniors, who receive $30,000 to attend graduate school and pledge to serve three of their first seven years after graduation in public service.

  • ...The research found that 21 of the scholars – or 36 percent – had worked for Democrat candidates (Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Barack Obama, etc.) or Democrat-aligned organizations (Tom Steyer’s NextGen America, Planned Parenthood, etc.)
  • Another 17 scholars – or 29 percent – listed their primary interest as solidly progressive (intersectionality, climate change, expanded government-provided health insurance, LGBT issues, food insecurity, minimizing “rape culture.”)
  • Another eight scholars – or 14 percent – said they were primarily interested in issues moderately associated with the left, such as environmental “sustainability” and rights for immigrants and refugees.
