| Ferrum College has received a grant in the amount of $25,500 from
the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Foundation to be used for financial aid. Students
with financial need who have demonstrated a commitment to service above
self and service to the community are eligible. Additionally,
the Foundation has made a grant of $5,000 dollars to the Algernon Sydney
Sullivan Endowment at Ferrum College. This endowment was established
in 1998 to provide support in perpetuity for Sullivan Scholars at Ferrum
College. The Algernon Sydney Sullivan Foundation, now located in Oxford, Mississippi,
was chartered in New York State in 1934. Its purpose is to promote
service to others and service to the broader community, values exemplified
by Algernon and Mary Mildred Sullivan, the parents of the organization’s
founder. In addition to providing support for financial aid to small private
colleges located primarily in the Appalachian region, the Sullivan
Foundation also collaborates with 53 southeastern colleges and universities
in presenting awards in memory of Algernon and Mary Mildred Sullivan. These
awards recognize exceptional qualities of service and are presented
each year to a graduating senior and to a non-student member of the
college community. |
