Sullivan Fellows

Get the Tools to Change the World

Receive a partial tuition scholarship and three-years of access to events, trainings and programs to launch your changemaking journey.

Creating Positive Change is Hard Work.

You don’t have to do it alone.

The Sullivan Fellows program is designed for students like you who don’t just want a career – you want a calling.

You want to make a difference.

Sullivan Fellows embark on a three-year journey to learn how to become a social innovator alongside a cohort of likeminded students on your campus, and gather yearly with peers from colleges around the country who are all focused on one thing: Changing the world.

Receive funds to cover your registration at:
- Ignite Retreats (our signature event)
- May Leadership Workshop

Turn what you learn into a Campus Project
