The Don Fortenberry Award is presented each year to a graduating student from any undergraduate academic division of the College who is considered to have performed the most notable, meritorious, diligent and devoted service to Millsaps College with no expectation of recognition, reward, or public remembrance. The award is made under provisions by the Division of Student Life & Division of Institutional Advancement. The Fortenberry Award pays tribute to the inestimable contributions of the former College Chaplain, the Reverend Don Fortenberry, who gave selflessly to the Millsaps community and to the enhancement of student character through more than three decades of servant-leadership. The Fortenberry Award is the highest student honor bestowed by the College for contributions outside the classroom. The recipients include: 2004-Ms. Julia L. Mitchell, 2005-Ms. H.

A nominee need not demonstrate superior performance in ALL of the aforementioned categories to merit application submission. The successful candidate may demonstrate a sterling contribution through one titanic program or initiative; or contribute through a college career of projects and undertakings.
