After starting with a network of five schools in 1925, the Sullivan Foundation today partners with 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.

Our core trainings are open for students and faculty of any school to connect with and learn about the Sullivan network.

Present annual awards to college students, faculty, and community members who are of noble character and who place service to others above themselves.

Offer a 3-year cohort-based fellowship to rising sophomores who receive scholarships, training, and ongoing guidance from Sullivan mentors.
