# §1801.23. Recommendation by panel.

- (a) Each Panel is asked to recommend to the Board of Trustees the name of one candidate from each state in the region to be appointed as a Truman Scholar. The Foundation may authorize each regional review panel to recommend additional Scholars from the States in its region.
- (b) A panel's recommendations are based on the material required under [§ 1801.17](/cfr/45/1801.17.md) and, as determined in the interview, the panel's assessment of each Finalist in terms of criteria presented in [§ 1801.22](/cfr/45/1801.22.md).
- (c) In the event that a regional review panel determines that none of the Finalists from a state meets all the requirements expected of a Truman Scholar, it does not provide a recommendation. The Foundation will carry over the Scholarship for that state making two Scholarships available the following year.
