Truman Scholarship Clean House Act
This bill amends the Truman Scholarship Act to reform governance and eligibility for the Harry S Truman Scholarship. It changes the composition of the scholarship foundation's Board of Trustees to include members appointed by congressional leaders and limits political party representation among appointees. The bill establishes new eligibility requirements for students, including citizenship status, academic criteria, and community service standards, while creating procedures for selecting scholarship recipients. It also adds termination conditions for recipients who violate conduct standards, fail to meet reporting requirements, or are convicted of felonies. The changes apply only to scholarships awarded after the bill's enactment date, with existing scholarships remaining unaffected.
