What
is the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Foundation? | The
Algernon Sydney Sullivan Foundation was created in 1930 to honor young
men and women who show remarkable character and integrity, and who
demonstrate a commitment to service to others. The Foundation provides
scholarships to rising juniors at 31 colleges and universities, and
presents annual awards to graduating seniors at 54 institutions. Most of
the colleges and universities we serve are in the Appalachian region of
the Southeastern U.S. Today, the Sullivan Foundation is growing beyond
scholarships and awards to encourage the study of philanthropy, service
and social entrepreneurship on all college campuses. What

| EDITORIAL — In these days of trying times and fierce academic competition, you sometimes can't help but wonder if the purpose of the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Foundation isn't perhaps a little outmoded. After all, we award scholarships based not on financial need or academic achievement, but on something much less tangible and harder to quantify: character and service. And while it's relatively easy to identify the direct benefit of a scholarship on the life of a student how otherwise couldn't afford college, or the merits of recognizing and investing in a student who has excelled academically, it's much harder to understand the logic of investing in students who are simply "good people."
What's the point of that?
