Because Rhode Island did not have a Truman Scholar last year, Blais said, the national selection committee allowed state residents who were seniors to apply as well as juniors.
An economics concentrator, Blais finished his thesis--an analysis of the effect of credit cards on consumption--at 10 p.m., the day before his Truman finalist interview; he got two hours of sleep the night before his interview.
Blais said that he discussed his desire to enter public service during most of the interview.
Blais wrote his application policy memo on the problem of low-income housing.
A veteran Undergraduate Council member and former council vice president, Blais said he would like to run for elective office, most likely in his hometown of Woonsocket or elsewhere in Rhode Island.
