Beacon Hill Senior Living Community celebrated 11 team members who have been awarded educational scholarships through the Lifespace Foundation, recognizing their commitment to personal and professional growth while serving residents each day.

The 11 scholarship recipients represent a variety of departments across Beacon Hill, demonstrating the community’s commitment to supporting career growth at every level of the organization.

A special celebration was held last week honoring the recipients, their families, fellow team members, and community supporters.

Funded through the generosity of Beacon Hill residents and team members, the scholarships are more than financial assistance. They reflect the community’s commitment to education and its appreciation for employees whose hard work and compassion enrich the lives of residents every day. Each recipient received a $5,000 scholarship that may be applied toward a college degree or vocational program this fall.

“We are deeply grateful for the care, compassion, and dedication they bring to our community each day,” said Cecilia Wagner, director of human resources. “Seeing them pursue their educational goals while continuing to serve others inspires us. We are proud to support their journey and honored to be part of your success.”

The 2026 scholarship recipients are:

• Brandon Dohmeijer

• Kimberly Aguilar

• Yaro Kampaniiets

• Haley Tucek

• Sarah Haile

• Erika Gryka

• Serge Dulang

• Kim Jones

• Paloma Urquizo

• Fatemah Firdaus Eram

• Raneem Hamad

The scholarship program is one of the many ways Beacon Hill and the Lifespace Foundation support team member development, helping individuals pursue educational opportunities that strengthen both their careers and the communities they serve.

“These scholarships represent more than financial assistance,” Wagner said. “They represent encouragement, opportunity, and a community that believes in the potential of every team member.”

The recipients will begin or continue their educational pursuits during the fall academic term.
