Tift College Scholars Mercer University has partnered with the Tift College Alumnae Association to preserve the legacy of Tift College — a Baptist women’s college in Forsyth, Ga., that merged with Mercer in 1986 — through the Tift College Scholars Association. The program honors a select group of young women at Mercer with scholarships and inclusion in one of the University’s most distinguished scholastic organizations. A committee of Tift College alumnae interviews and selects the scholars from applicants who meet the University’s high academic standards. A Tift Scholar is known for her intellect, spirituality, commitment and dedication to her school, family, church and community. A tift scholar is awarded a bronze medallion, signifying her selection and participation in the program. Tift Scholars are an important part of the enduring legacy that began at Tift College more than 160 years ago.
