ABAC Student Receives Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of Georgia Scholarship

      TIFTON—Colton Farrow, a freshman Animal Science major at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, has been selected for a full tuition scholarship from the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of Georgia.

      Executive Director Fred B. Kitchens said the scholarship will cover all tuition fees for Farrow at ABAC for one year.  It is one of 15 scholarships awarded by the organization to college students in Georgia this year.

      “We have awarded 1,001 scholarships since our very first one in 1965,” Kitchens said.  “We awarded a total of $47,600 in scholarships this year.”
