Five Hingham Students Eligible to Receive Scholarships From Linden Ponds

Next week students working at will participate in the annual Student Scholarship Week to raise money for the Linden Ponds Student Scholarship Fund.

The Linden Ponds Scholarship Fund is for student employees who plan to attend a college or accredited trade school beginning fall 2012. According to Linden Ponds Staff Development Manager Susan DeMello, there are 26 students eligible for the scholarship this year including four from and one student from

, Josh Geary,  Sarah Richmond, and are the HHS eligible recipients along with Chrissy Wojner  from NDA.

According to Linden Ponds Public Affairs Manager Dani Baldassare, eligible students need to have worked at Linden Ponds during their junior and senior year and put in 1,000 hours of work.  Those students will receive a total of $4,000 over four years of college.  The money will be dispersed directly to their schools in $500-per-semester increments, for a maximum of eight semesters or four years.

All of next week, the Linden Ponds community will organize events to raise money for their scholarship fund. The events this year  will run from, May 20-25, and will include a Spelling Bee featuring students, staff and residents and a fashion show with residents and staff, and a game of Jeopardy.

 “Most of the events are free so we hope to raise money by donations, not ticket sales,” DeMello said in a statement.   “The students work hard to make this week come together and look forward to it every year.”
