Jed Hanson from Argusville, N.D., was recently awarded with the Truman Scholarship.

Hanson will receive a $30,000 scholarship toward graduate school and opportunities for professional development.

Hanson studies political science and public administration. He is the executive director and former communications director for the College Democrats of North Dakota and a former field organizer for the North Dakota Democratic-NPL Party.

“The Truman Scholarship will provide me with additional pathways for my career in public service,” Hanson said. “I am thankful to the Truman Foundation for selecting me and providing support and opportunities in my education and future.”

The Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation has a mission to select and support the next generation of public service leaders.
