Generous Tallgrass Creek Residents Support Students' Futures Through Scholarship Fund

Seventeen local high school students were recently honored as Student Scholars at Tallgrass Creek, an Erickson Senior Living community in Overland Park, KS. 

These dedicated student employees—who worked as servers and hosts across the community’s six on-campus restaurants—demonstrated outstanding commitment to service and professionalism.

To recognize their dedication and propel their promising futures, community residents generously donated more than $77,000 to the Student Scholarship Fund to award the 17 students. 

To qualify for a four-year scholarship, a student must work minimum number of hours during a two-year period, maintain good academic and professional standing, and plan to attend a college, university, or trade school full-time.

“Our student employees truly understand the value of these scholarships,” says Executive Director Adam Dickson, who attended the ceremony on May 4th, 2025. “We’re incredibly grateful to our residents for their generosity. These awards make a lasting difference in our students' lives.”
