33 Local Students Receive Linden Ponds Scholarship

Students Were Recognized at a Scholarship Ceremony at Linden Ponds 

Hingham, MA – Thirty three students working at Linden Ponds, an Erickson Living developed and managed retirement community in Hingham, MA, from 16 different schools along the South Shore received the Linden Ponds Student Scholarship.

 "Thirty three students were eligible for the scholarship this year," said Mairi Bleakie, Philanthropy Manager, Linden Ponds. "Since 2004, the Linden Ponds Student Scholarship Fund has awarded over $1 million in financial aid to hundreds of student workers to support their pursuit of higher education.  It's a wonderful benefit for students working at Linden Ponds and this is one of our largest group of students receiving the scholarship."

 The Linden Ponds Scholarship Fund is for student employees who plan to attend a college or accredited trade school beginning fall 2019. The students need to have worked at Linden Ponds during their junior and senior year and put in 900 hours of work. Those students will receive a total of $6,000 over four years of college. The money will be dispersed directly to their schools, $1500 for a total of 4 years.

 "Thanks to the generosity of many residents, more than $160,000 was raised this year for our students," said Bleakie.
