Jesse Bailey ’05 was studying as an intern at the House of Commons in London last spring when he learned that he had been selected to receive a prestigious scholarship named after President Truman and designed to help students prepare for careers in government or other public service.
Bailey, a junior from Spring, Texas, who is majoring in three areas in the College—African and African-American studies, political science, and history—was one of 77 students nationwide chosen to receive the highly competitive Harry S. Truman Scholarship. He was selected from a pool of 609 candidates nominated by 307 colleges and universities.
