The Landing Residents Award $25,000 in Scholarships to Student Employees 

Residents of The Landing at Williamsburg Village continue to support their student employees with college scholarships. During their third annual Scholarship Tea May 15, members of The Landing’s Scholarship Committee honored 15 students with scholarships of $1,000-$2,000 each. Award amounts are determined by each employee’s years of service and hours worked.

According to Ken Neff, chair of The Landing Scholarship Committee, the decision to honor students with the scholarships “comes from our own life experiences and recognizing the value of education.”

A Scholarship Committee of six residents formed the program in 2007, and awarded the first scholarships in 2008. The Scholarship Program is funded solely by volunteer contributions from The Landing residents. Once collected, funds are turned over to Lincoln Public Schools Foundation for disbursement. Since its inception, $62,000 in scholarship funds have been awarded.
