Developing Changemakers TOGETHER

Join 70+ colleges and universities bringing students, faculty and campuses together to spark change.

After starting with a single school in 1925, the Sullivan Foundation today partners with 70+ colleges and universities across the American South and beyond to honor, support, and educate students who demonstrate a commitment to service and creating positive change.

The first Sullivan Award was presented in 1890, followed shortly after by Sullivan Scholarships. Since then, more than 14,000 awards and scholarships have been presented to deserving students as well as outstanding citizens of the community.

“Sullivan events are a life changing experience. I left the retreat feeling confident that I could accomplish anything, and was eager to share the experience with my friends and family.”
