Twenty seven local high school seniors preparing for graduation were named Student Scholars at Highland Springs

Dallas, Texas – Twenty seven local high school seniors preparing for graduation were named Student Scholars at an award ceremony at Highland Springs, the Erickson Senior Living community in Dallas, Texas.

These hardworking student employees, who worked as servers and hosts across Highland Springs eight 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 $16,000 scholarship.

"These students consistently go above and beyond in balancing work, school, and service to our residents," said Director of Human Resources April Garcia. "This scholarship program is only possible because of our residents' generosity, and the impact it has on our students is truly lasting."
