At Silver Maples, weโre proud to celebrate a tradition rooted in generosity and a deep commitment to education. It all began in 2010, when our Resident Council began discussing the idea of supporting employees through scholarships. Just one year later, the first $1,000 scholarship was awarded โ and what a journey itโs been since! Fast forward to today; weโre thrilled to share that we recently awarded an incredible $52,000 in scholarships to 16 deserving team members from our Culinary Services and Resident Care departments. Many of our recipients are continuing scholars, balancing their academic pursuits while providing outstanding care and service to our residents and families. ๐๐ Congratulations to our 2025 scholarship recipients! Your dedication and drive continue to inspire us. Since the program began, weโve awarded more than $260,000 in scholarships โ all thanks to the incredible generosity of our residents, families, and supporters. Want to help support the next generation of scholars? ๐ Visit www.SilverMaples.org/donate to contribute to the Employee Scholarship Program. #InvestInPeople #EmployeeScholarships #TheSilverMaplesDifference
