Arkansas Tech University student Amanda Condon has been selected as a finalist for a 2017 Truman Scholarship through the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation.
Condon was among four Arkansans and 199 university and college students from around the United States who advanced to the finalist stage in the competitive scholarship application. She will travel to Nashville, Tenn., for a finalist interview during the month of March. The 2017 class of Truman Scholars will be announced on April 21.
