Since the inception of the Distinguished $20,000 Sullivan Supply/ Stock Show University Youth Scholarship program we have gifted over $120,000 in scholarships to an amazing group of highly talented young adults. We have had the great honor to read thousands of applications about how lives have been molded by our great livestock industry. This year was no exception. We received 1247 applications from 46 states and Canada. This is a record number of participants. From all of us at Sullivan Supply, thank you. It’s been an inspiration and an honor to watch you develop and reach for your goals.
We also want to send a big thank you out to the scholarship selection committee of industry leaders (non-Sullivan Supply employees or family members) who volunteered their time for our mission.
Congratulations to all our 1247 applicants.
Sincerely,
John Sullivan, Founder of Sullivan Supply, Inc and Stock Show University
