Northwood University Student Awarded LCS Foundation Scholarship

Northwood University (NU) has announced Jada Oliver as the recipient of a 2025 LCS Foundation University Scholarship. Jada is entering her senior year at Northwood and is pursuing a degree in healthcare management.  

“I am forever grateful for this scholarship,” Jada said. “Thanks to the LCS Foundation, you are making my life, and my parents’ lives, a little bit easier. I’m one step closer to the finish line in changing all our lives.” 

Jada’s connection to senior living began with watching her independent grandmother transition into a senior living community after a fall. The experience inspired her to want to help shift the perception around senior living facilities. “There should be a place of ease and peace of mind for both them and their loved ones,” she said.  

Motivated by this goal, Jada hopes to help create environments where seniors feel excited and comfortable about their future. “I want to be able to make sure that others feel secure sending their loved ones to live out the rest of their best lives in my care,” she said. 

The LCS Foundation partnership with Northwood University supports the education of students pursuing degrees in the senior living and care profession. Recipients are chosen by the NU Scholarship Selection Committee guided by principles endorsed by the LCS Foundation. Other schools where LCS Foundation scholarships are in place include the University of Northern Iowa, the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and the Granger Cobb Institute for Senior Living at Washington State University.
