Residents at Maris Grove Champion Education Through Student Scholarship Program

Twenty-three local high school seniors preparing for graduation were named Student Scholars at an award ceremony held May 17 at Maris Grove, an Erickson Senior Living community in Glen Mills, Pa.

These hardworking student employees, who worked as servers and hosts across Maris Grove’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 students for continued success. The student employees were each awarded a $10,000 scholarship. In addition, nine students received donor-designated scholarships totaling $75,500.

In addition, the One-Year Adult Learners Award, a scholarship worth $2,000 was given to three adult team members who tirelessly balance their work schedule at Maris Grove and hours of coursework.

“Our team members deeply appreciate the impact these scholarships have,” said Philanthropy Manager Amanda Fina. “We’re sincerely thankful for the generosity of our residents—their support creates meaningful, lasting opportunities for our students.”

Since 2008, the Maris Grove Scholars' Fund has awarded over $1 million in financial aid to student workers to support their pursuit of higher education.
