PLANNED GIVING<br />
Regardless of current income or financial flexibility, planned giving is<br />
accessible to anyone. These gifts can be made through different financial vehicles<br />
including a bequest in a will, named beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement<br />
account, or a charitable remainder trust. A planned gift is a unique opportunity to create<br />
a lasting legacy in support of the university system and students. These types of gifts<br />
provide an opportunity to impact the future and may generate federal tax advantages<br />
during the donor’s lifetime. Featured here are newly named funds that will be established<br />
through a realized planned gift.<br />
Neva Cochran Research Fund in Nutrition and Food Science<br />
Established October 2022<br />
Highly accomplished nutrition communications consultant and<br />
<strong>TWU</strong> alumna, Neva Cochran, M.S., R.D.N., L.D. ’78 established<br />
the Neva Cochran Scholarship Endowment in Nutrition in 2020<br />
to support <strong>TWU</strong> graduate students accepted into the Dietetic<br />
Internship Program.<br />
With a generous planned gift, Neva has recently expanded<br />
her original gift to support even more students. A portion of<br />
Neva’s estate gift will be used to increase the principal of the<br />
current scholarship endowment providing more funding for<br />
nutrition graduate students, with the remaining portion of<br />
the gift providing critical funding to support research in the<br />
Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences.<br />
Mildred and Marie Tribble Study Abroad<br />
Scholarship Endowment<br />
Established October 2022<br />
Mildred Tribble ’45, who turns 100 in October, traveled the<br />
world with her sister Marie Tribble ’46. Mildred studied home<br />
economics at Texas State College for Women (now <strong>TWU</strong>)<br />
graduating in 1945, while her sister earned her degree in food<br />
and nutrition the following year. Now, Mildred wants “to give<br />
other people the same opportunities that we had to travel,” she<br />
says. The Mildred and Marie Tribble Study Abroad Scholarship<br />
Endowment will honor Mildred and Marie, who passed away<br />
in 1994, while enabling students in the College of Professional<br />
Education to enjoy the cultural enrichment the sisters shared.<br />
Thanks to the Tribble sisters’ gift, countless <strong>TWU</strong> students will<br />
have an opportunity to experience the world.<br />
