Graduate Theological Union board member Maureen Sullivan and her husband Craig have given $250,000 to the GTU campaign for Scholarship Endowment in the name of the Maureen and Craig Sullivan Scholarship Fund. The couple is deeply committed to providing students an opportunity to attend academic institutions regardless of their financial status. Their gift helps the GTU reach its goal of offering scholarships and stipends to more than half of its doctoral students by 2010. The awards will lighten many students’ financial burdens, eliminate or reduce their need for outside employment, and allow the GTU to compete for students with the greatest potential for theological leadership.

Maureen Sullivan also serves on the boards of trustees of Patrons of the Arts of the Vatican and Catholic Charities in San Francisco. She is a past member of the board of the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology, the Oakland Museum, the Magic Theatre in San Francisco, and the Stern Grove Festival Association. Ms. Sullivan is past chair of the board of San Francisco General Hospital Volunteer Foundation and has served on boards of several organizations related to arts and religion. She received a B.A. in philosophy from Stanford University and an M.A. in counseling psychology from the University of San Francisco. She is the mother of two daughters. She and Craig live in San Francisco.
