Buies Creek–Campbell University has announced a grant in the amount of $30,500 from the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Foundation. The grant will be used to fund Sullivan Scholars at Campbell and to support students through financial aid.A total of $5,000 is designated for the Algernon Sydney Foundation Endowment at Campbell which supports Sullivan Scholars; while another $20,500 will be used to fund University financial aid programs.Now located in Oxford, Miss., the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Foundation was chartered in New York State in 1934 to promote service to others and the broader community and to communicate the values exemplified by philanthropists Algernon and Mary Mildred Sullivan.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 monetary awards. 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. Campbell’s Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award winners in May 2007 were graduate Robert J. Braxton, currently a law student at the University of Florida, and Brigadier General Susan Lawrence, director of Command, Control, Communications and Computer Systems at the U.S. Central Command at MacDill AFB, Fla.
