Brenau University announces it received a
grant of $23,500 from the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Foundation to be used
for financial aid. Students with financial need who demonstrate a
commitment to service above self and service to the community are
eligible. Additionally, the foundation has made a grant of $6,500 to the
Algernon Sydney Sullivan Endowment at Brenau. This endowment was
established in 1998 to provide support in perpetuity for Sullivan Scholars
at Brenau.
The Algernon Sydney Sullivan Foundation,
now located in Oxford, Miss. promotes service to others and service to the
broader community, values exemplified by Algernon and Mary 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 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. |
