On Sept. 15, five Binghamton University students learned they are receiving crucial support and recognition of their efforts to advance a racially just and equitable society.
During George Floyd’s memorial service June 4, the president at North Central University in Minneapolis announced a scholarship in Floyd’s name and called on universities across the nation to do the same.
Binghamton University rose to the challenge. The Binghamton University Foundation board of directors, in partnership with University President Harvey Stenger, designated $1.5 million to establish the endowed George Floyd Scholarship for Social Change to support historically economically disadvantaged, underrepresented minorities.
