The Sullivan State Farm Agencies continued their support of higher education recently by awarding a partial four-year college scholarship to 2022 East Lee County High School graduate Mahkai Conway. The Sullivans recognize the importance of providing the tools and resources needed to support effective learning. Having branded their business as “the education agency,” Cape Coral agents Dawn and Mike Sullivan pay particular attention to removing obstructions young people face along their path to higher education and career success.

Conway was awarded the scholarship on June 1, to help make his college dreams a reality.

“I am so grateful for Mike and Dawn,” said Conway. “I am continuing my education at Knox College and intend on getting a PhD in mechanical engineering. I will also be continuing my dream of playing football while attending. Go Prairie Fire!”

At the center of the agency’s giving is Sully’s House, a nonprofit the Sullivans founded in 2016 and named after Mike’s late father. Sully’s House is a self-funded foundation focused on at-risk individuals and families in need of assistance, including providing full-ride and partial scholarships to deserving high school graduates across Southwest Florida. Sully’s House has granted local students full scholarships to college, summer art programs and other educational experiences.

This year, the Sullivans are also supporting Pelican Elementary School by helping to produce the school’s new, custom-designed homework and communications folders for a full year. Students and families use these folders to transfer needed paperwork between school and home and to communicate with teachers and other administration.
