Description
The Truman Library Institute administers the John K. Hulston Scholarship through the spring round of its Research Grants program. The scholarship supports a researcher visiting multiple research facilities, including the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum in Independence, Missouri, for a single project. It extends the program’s support for research expenses to work that connects Truman Library collections with relevant materials at other repositories.
The scholarship emphasizes research that adds significantly to existing literature and demonstrates a clear understanding of scholarship already undertaken in the field. Competitive proposals should show both an analytical and descriptive grasp of the project and explain the centrality of the Truman era. Applicants must also explain how materials at additional repositories fit into the larger scholarly undertaking.
