(University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture) The SunTrust Foundation has approved a $75,000 grant to grow University of Tennessee Extension's 'On My Own' financial literacy program. UT Extension's Family and Consumer Sciences Department, a part of the UT Institute of Agriculture, has been dedicated to supplementing financial literacy in Tennessee's schools for more than a decade. Its simulation-based program currently reaches more than 30,000 middle school and high school-age children in approximately 250-300 schools.
