A truly outstanding set of applicants in our 2020 Distinguished $20,000 Sullivan Supply/Stock Show University Scholarship program. 1,138 applications from 46 states and Canada proves that the interest of our Ag youth runs deep. During these uncertain times is it awesome to be a part of this great livestock show industry. To look through these applications and read what these young adults are accomplishing makes us proud to be a part of it all. A huge thank you to our scholarship selection committee of industry leaders (non-Sullivan Supply employees or family members) who spend so many volunteer hours choosing our 20 winners. Congratulations to all our winners and applicants. Over $240,000 has been gifted to young individuals since the inception of this program in 2008.
Sincerely, John Sullivan, Founder Sullivan Supply and Stock Show University
