Deadline to submit applications: Friday, April 7, 2023

ABOUT ALICE SULLIVAN: Alice Sullivan’s time as a teacher and administrator at East Providence High School spanned four decades. Her contributions to Rhode Island’s student-athletes, especially girls, extended much, much further than that. The driving force behind girls sports being added to the Rhode Island Interscholastic League in the late 1960s, Sullivan became the league’s director of girls sports and then its first assistant executive director. By the time she stepped down from her position at the RIIL in 1996, the league was offering 14 sports for girls. Even after her retirement, Sullivan continued to work tirelessly to ensure that girls received the best athletic opportunities possible until her death in November 2003 at the age of 78. Shortly after her passing, a foundation and scholarship was created in Sullivan’s name “to sustain in perpetuity Alice Sullivan’s life, character and enthusiasm for girls athletics.”
