OSU student named Truman Scholar

Tuesday, March 25, 2008

OSU President Burns Hargis was among several who surprised biosystems and agricultural engineer junior Cortney Timmons with the news she is a Truman Scholar. Timmons is the 15th OSU student to receive the scholastic honor which includes a $30,000 scholarship. 

In 2000 OSU was designated as Oklahoma’s first Truman Honor Institution. In addition to the scholarship, Timmons will receive leadership training, career and graduate school counseling and special internship opportunities within the federal government. Following her graduation, she plans to pursue a master’s degree and doctorate, studying both in the U.S. and in Great Britain.
