Generous Lantern Hill Residents Support Students' Futures Through Scholarship Fund

Eight local high school students were recently honored as Student Scholars at Lantern Hill, an Erickson Senior Living community in New Providence, NJ. This year, the scholarship amount increased from $4,000 to $8,000, thanks to the generosity of the Lantern Hill residents.

These dedicated student employees—who worked as servers and hosts across the community's on-campus restaurants—demonstrated outstanding commitment to service and professionalism.

To recognize their dedication and propel their promising futures, community residents generously donated to the Student Scholarship Fund. At the Student Scholar ceremony on June 3, student workers were granted the $8,000 scholarship to support their pursuit of a college or trade school education.

"The bonds our student workers build with residents are truly special," says Director of Resident Life Carla Brady. "We're incredibly grateful to our residents for their generosity. These awards make a lasting difference in our students' lives."
