The Highlands at Wyomissing® resident-led Scholarship Committee recently hosted its annual scholarship award ceremony and reception, where $1,500 scholarships were awarded to 21 well-deserving employees striving to advance their careers.
On Tuesday, June 18, employees, their families, and residents gathered to celebrate and honor these dedicated team members. The Highlands at Wyomissing Scholarship program, established in 2019, aims to provide financial support to employees pursuing education at traditional colleges or universities, community colleges, trade schools, or advanced certificate programs. To date, the program has awarded nearly $90,000 in scholarships and raised almost $300,000, working towards an endowment fund to ensure ongoing support for employees’ educational and career development goals.
“We are delighted to celebrate the success of our resident-led Scholarship Fund,” said Kevin DeAcosta, President and CEO of The Highlands at Wyomissing. “It is with great pride that the resident-led Scholarship Committee awarded these scholarships to such deserving employees who are passionately pursuing their academic aspirations. Since the program’s inception, the committee has granted an impressive total of 59 scholarships, empowering our dedicated employees to pursue their educational dreams. Together, we are creating a community that values growth, learning, and unwavering support for one another.”
DeAcosta also recognized the Scholarship Fund Committee and its members: Barbara Kline, Amy Reinsel, Renee Dietrich, Sue Wachs, Dr. George Gerhart, and Jack Boyle (Chairman), for their hard work and dedication in making this event a success.
To be eligible, employees must have worked at The Highlands for a minimum of one year, demonstrated post-high school plans, and be in good standing. Interested employees submitted an essay to the Scholarship Committee discussing their career goals and how working at The Highlands will help them achieve these goals and participated in an interview with the committee.
Thank you and your staff for all you do to accommodate so many different shows, personalities, etc.! Can’t be easy, but we really do appreciate it.
Wish my town had a channel like this, very cool idea to bring the community together and give people a platform.
Fantastic work and thanks so much for the quick turnaround! Always a pleasure to work with you and the rest of the BCTV team!
Thank you for always being receptive to my ideas. All of your efforts help me to help others and that is a blessing to me.
I am happy and proud to be a part of such a dedicated assembly of talent and purpose. Thank you for being a part of my efforts to promote theater and the arts in this region.
Thanks for your commitment to communication far and wide, for your technical support, and tireless efforts to bring fresh programs to BCTV. Bravo!
I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids. This experience is more than the TV show. Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference.
