Meet the 2016 Vassar Truman Scholars 

Three Vassar College juniors were selected as 2016 Truman Scholars, making Vassar the only college in the country with that distinction this year.
Cecil Carey, Raymond Magsaysay, and Kali Tambree-all members of the class of 2017-went through a rigorous, multi-stage selection process. This year, there were 775 candidates for the award nominated by 305 colleges and universities, a record number of applications and institutions. Fifty-four new Truman Scholars were selected in 2016 and each will receive a $30,000 scholarship toward graduate school and the opportunity to participate in professional development programming to help prepare them for careers in public service leadership.
