VESTAL, N.Y. — The Mildred Faulkner Truman Foundation of Owego has awarded Binghamton University a $15,000 grant to continue providing scholarship assistance to Tioga County students enrolled in the current academic year.
Since 1998, Truman Foundation scholarships have assisted 509 Tioga County students enrolled at Binghamton University. In the new academic year that recently started, 97 full- and part-time undergraduate students from Tioga County are enrolled at the university. Of these, 68 students qualified for financial assistance, the university said in a release.
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 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) form. The form is available at any high school guidance office, or on the Binghamton University financial-aid website.
