Brede-Wilkins Scholarship
Supports student employees of Village on The Green pursuing an undergraduate degree.
Overview
Primarily supports students who have worked as servers in the Dietary Department at Village on the Green in Longwood, completing at least 500 work hours during the specified preceding year. Initial applicants must generally be graduating high school seniors with a 3.0+ unweighted GPA and plan to attend an accredited postsecondary institution full-time. Renewal students need a 2.5 college GPA. Special provisions exist for qualifying military applicants and current college students. Â
The initiative was initially established in 1988 by Ellen H. Brede and her brother Leonard O. Wilkins, two of the founding residents of the Village on the Green Retirement Community, and remains the crown jewel of the community. Since neither of the founders attended college, their collective intent was to provide educational scholarships to employees at Village on the Green.
