Top students earn
Bachelor’s scholarships
For two very fortunate Sullivan
students, their Bachelor’s degree are
tuition-free. The Board of Directors of
Sullivan University annually awards two
full tuition scholarships; one for a female
and one for a male student who are
graduates of Sullivan’s associate degree
programs and who want to continue
their education towards a Bachelor’s in
Business Administration.
This year’s recipients are Stephanie
Luckett, an Accounting major, and Jon
Lewis who earned his Associate degree
in Business Management.
Stephanie chose
Sullivan “for so many
reasons. I love that
almost every class is
offered during the
day, at night and online.
It makes it easy
to find a schedule to
fit your life. I also like Stephanie Luckett
going to school on quarters. For me,
it’s easier to study hard for 11 weeks
and then have a break, than to draw
the curriculum out for 16 weeks. I also
appreciate that I don’t have to plan an
extra half an hour to park and walk to
class or feel lost in a huge classroom.
Last, but not least, are the instructors
who all bring so much to the classroom
with their experience and enthusiasm.”
When asked about her reaction to
becoming a scholarship recipient,
Stephanie shared, “When I received the
notice that I was chosen, I was so excited
tears came to my eyes, and I rushed to
tell my family and celebrate. I am still so
happy. It’s very much appreciated.”
Although Jon Lewis had
“looked around at other
schools, I feel Sullivan
was a really good fit
for me. The location is
good too. I enrolled in
Business Management
because I feel that it
will help me get ahead
Jon Lewis
in my career. I went
with Finance as a second major to have
something additional to fall back-on. I
was elated to receive the scholarship.”
High school seniors
can win money, too!
The best way to earn scholarships
is to apply, apply, apply! Fall and
early winter is the optimum time
for high school seniors to apply for
scholarships and Sullivan offers many
scholarship opportunities. One of
these opportunities is the Sullivan
University Senior Academic Scholarship,
due Friday, March 6, 2009.
The Senior Academic Scholarship
is evaluated based on entrance assessment
scores, GPA through your
junior year in high school, and an
essay on “How and Why You
Selected Your Career Field.”

listing of scholarships opportunities
for high school seniors, visit

website at teens.sullivan.edu or

“I’m very pleased Ashley choose
Sullivan. She is able to do what
she likes most {cooking}, live on
her own, make new friends and
grow up into a young lady. I’m
also glad that Sullivan classes
run Monday thru Thursday, so
Ashley can come home for a
long weekend whenever she
chooses; that makes me as a
parent very happy!”
BONNIE HANSEN
“I believe that
Sullivan is one of
the nation’s best

and believe it will
prepare Ashley to
learn and be ready
for the job market.”

More students choose Sullivan for
their career-focused education:
Largest Day Division enrollment ever!
On September 22, Sullivan University’s
main campus in Louisville welcomed its fall
freshman class to its growing day division.
Sullivan is unique in that it has two separate
freshman classes. The first class of 295
students invested in their future and enrolled
in the Summer Quarter which started on June
23. The nearly 400 new fall day students were
joined in classes by 100 reentering students
who had interrupted their studies for one
reason or another; these students then joined
the nearly 850 students who were continuing
their Sullivan University education from the
Summer Quarter to total some 1,320 day
division students, one of the largest day
classes on Sullivan’s main campus.
Online classes continue popularity
There are 125 day division students taking
at least one online class in addition to their
on campus classes. They find that combining
online and on-site classes enables them to
complete their degrees more quickly with less
time away from family and work responsibilities.
Altogether, more than 1,100 of Sullivan’s
day and evening students are taking at least
one online class.
Many states represented in the day division
There are currently 19 states represented in
the new starting students in the day division.
Sullivan’s National Center for Hospitality
Studies attracts students from across the
country and several foreign countries due
to its stellar international reputation. Strong
out-of-state representation makes the University’s
student housing a popular option;
this fall, there are more than 300 students in
student housing.
Sullivan meets the needs of working adults
More than 35% more students elected to
begin their studies at Sullivan University in
the evening and weekend programs this fall
than did so last fall. Business Administration
continues to head the list of programs chosen
by evening and weekend students followed
by Human Resource Leadership, Culinary Arts
and certification programs in Microsoft and
Cisco specializations. Many students have attended
college prior to attending Sullivan and
five have already earned master’s degrees; for
68 new students, this is their first experience
with college studies. Just under 15% of the
students are not in full programs of study but
are taking classes to enhance their promotability
on their current jobs.

Students have fun at Sullivan
Always a fun event and this year was the best ever!
Plenty of food, fellowship and fun. The event had to
be moved indoors due to rain, but we didn’t get the blues.
We had a blast! Limbo contest, lots of games,
great music and best of all great food! Luau
Sullivan’s Annual Summer
Picnic was held at beautiful
Seneca Park this year. There
