“The interview was a good
opportunity to talk about who I
am as a person,” he said.
As a military brat living over
seas for the first decade of his
life, Mercer knew that he would
return because he wanted a
career where he could live abroad
and be a part of other cultures.
Besides co-leading a fresh
man Bible study and playing
violin for a local trio, Mercer
interned in Washington, D.C.
with the Department of State for
foreign service and plans to
intern in Singapore as part of the
LT Jordan Institute program.
“These finalists are fascinat
ing individuals already and hav
ing experience in the public
service area, actually living it
will make them more attractive
candidates,” said Don Curtis,
former director in the Honors
Program. “They are bright, shin
ing lights at A&M.”
Rubenstein, a junior with a
double major in political science
and psychology, hopes to work
for either the U.S. Department
of State or Defense.
Williams, a junior majoring
in mechanical engineering with
a minor in English, plans on a
career in the Central Intelligence
Agency, specializing in interna
tional security policy.
The Harry S. Truman
Scholarship Foundation is offi
cially the federal memorial to
33rd President Truman and was
established in 1975 by
Congress.
Each scholarship awarded
provides $30,000 to each student,
$3,000 for his senior year and
$27,000 for graduate study. Other
aspects of the scholarship include
supplemental financial aid at sev
eral premiere graduate institu
tions, leadership training, and
special internship opportunities
within the federal government.
A typical candidate is a per
son those who wants to work in
the public sector for the military
or the government, and are
excellent students who want to
make a difference in society and
the world, Curtis said.
Rubenstein and Williams
were unavailable for comment.
Scholarships will be awarded
on March 21.

“I don’t agree with raising
fees unless A&M is consider
ing offering additional finan
cial aid and services (to those
who need it),” Moore said.
Moore said the only way
students on financial aid can
receive more money from
A&M is if their expected fami
ly contribution decreases.
