TEN ABAC STUDENTS AWARDED FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIPS

TIFTON - Ten students from across south Georgia were awarded ABAC Foundation Scholarships for the 2005-06 academic year through the Foundation Scholars Program at Abraham Baldwin College.

The program provides scholarships to the top three honor graduates from eight local counties: Ben Hill, Berrien, Colquitt, Cook, Irwin, Tift, Turner, and Worth. The scholarships cover tuition and fees for two semesters of full-time enrollment provided the students maintain a 3.0 grade point average each semester. They are funded by the ABAC Foundation.

Other Foundation Scholars were Jeremy Davis of Sycamore, first honor graduate, Joanna Waller of Ashburn, third honor graduate, and Jesse Story of Sycamore, fifth honor graduate; all from Turner County High School and Kayla Futch and Tyler Sandifer from Tifton, second and fourth honor graduates of Tift County High School.
