South
Cove Manor at Quincy Point, a skilled nursing care and rehabilitation community
focused on serving Asian elders and their families, has awarded $1,000
scholarships to two Quincy seniors in recognition of their service to elders.
Created
in honor of South Cove Manor’s 30th anniversary, the scholarships
were awarded to Wei Zhen of North Quincy High School and Juliet Wilma Samson of
Quincy High School. The scholarship
winners were selected based on their involvement with and commitment to elders
in their communities.
The
scholarships, underwritten by CliftonLarsonAllen LLP, may be used for any
college-related expenses, including application fees, books, or other expenses.
The
scholarship judges were Pastor Ryan Lun from the Good Neighbor Lutheran Church,
Dean Rizzo, president of the Quincy Chamber of Commerce, and Lisa Mui, South
Cove Manor board member and senior corporate counsel at Granite
Telecommunications.
“We
were simply bowled over with the response we received to the call for applications,”
Ms. Mui said. “It was a very competitive
process given all the wonderful work our young people are doing with
elders. Every student who applied
inspired our panel of judges and deserves an award. We thank them all for their service.”
Opened
in Boston in 1985, South Cove Manor moved into their new state-of-the-art
building at 288 Washington Street in Quincy in May 2014, expanding their
rehabilitation capacity significantly, and creating a series of small resident
communities for elders.
