BINGHAMTON — The Mildred Faulkner Truman Foundation of Owego has awarded a $15,000 grant to continue to provide scholarship assistance to Tioga County students attending Binghamton University in the 2017-2018 academic year.
Since 1998, Truman Foundation scholarships have helped more than 494 Tioga County students enrolled at Binghamton University. In the current academic year, 56 full- and part-time undergraduate students from Tioga County are enrolled at Binghamton University, it said in a news release. Of these, 47 students qualified for financial aid.
Mildred Faulkner Truman was born in Owego in 1897. She became a director of the Owego National Bank and the Tioga County Historical Society, and was a member of the First Presbyterian Union Church. Her husband, James Truman, practiced law in Owego.
Upon her death in 1983, Truman’s estate established a foundation to support nonprofit organizations serving Tioga County residents with grants for critical needs, aid for capital projects, and seed money for special projects and programs, the release stated.
Eligibility for this funding is based on Tioga County residency and financial necessity, which is determined by the Binghamton University financial aid office through completion of a financial-aid form, available at http://www2.binghamton.edu/financial-aid/services/apply-via-fafsa.html.
