“The Scholars’ Fund is Cedar Crest’s way of providing educational assistance for the bright, dedicated and hard-working students who are part of our community. I want to personally thank all of our residents and staff who are helping to provide these young men and women with assistance that will potentially help them flourish," said Cedar Crest Executive Director Cathy Guttman.

Each year, residents and staff pool together voluntary donations to be given to a group of students who have worked at least 1,000 hours at Cedar Crest over a consecutive two-year period and are planning to attend a college, university or trade school full time.

Since the Scholars' Fund began in 2003, $851,000 has been raised and 163 students have been awarded scholarships.
