Residents at Tallgrass Creek Champion Education Through Student Scholarship Program

Twenty-three local high school seniors preparing for graduation were named Student Scholars at an award ceremony held April 26 at Tallgrass Creek, an Erickson Senior Living community in Overland Park, Kansas.

These hardworking student employees, who worked as servers and hosts across Tallgrass Creek’s on-campus dining venues, and met the qualifying criteria, were honored for their dedication and commitment. Their achievements are supported through scholarships funded by generous donations from community residents, helping to position these hardworking students for continued success. The student employees were each awarded a $12,000 scholarship.

“Our student employees demonstrate remarkable commitment in balancing their jobs, academics, and dedication to our residents,” said Executive Director Adam Dickson. “Thanks to the generosity of our residents, this scholarship program makes a lasting difference in their lives.”

To qualify for a four-year scholarship, a student must work a minimum number of hours during a two-year period, maintain good academic and professional standing, and plan to attend a college, university, or trade school full-time.
