WKU was presented with a $2 million check to establish two new endowed scholarships at their last quarterly meeting of the semester on Thursday. The gift comes from the Robert and Mary Tincher Charitable Foundation Inc., a private Bowling Green foundation created by WKU alumni Robert and Mary Tincher. The Foundation had previously donated $1 million to the university to support an endowed scholarship for deserving students in 2019, said Amanda Trabue, vice president for philanthropy and alumni engagement. WKU President Timothy Caboni requested the regents name a residence hall in recognition of the Foundation’s gift, but the hall to be renamed is still to be determined, Caboni said in the meeting.
