Morning Pointe Senior Living Presents 2025 Endowment Scholarship To Freshman At SAU

Morning Pointe Senior Living announces Fred Hutagaol has been selected as the recipient of the Morning Pointe Scholars Endowment scholarship at Southern Adventist University.

“The Morning Pointe Scholars Endowment is a powerful reminder to keep striving for excellence in my studies, while sharing my passion for stewardship with others,” said Mr. Hutagaol. “It reaffirms the calling God has placed in my heart as I work toward earning my bachelor’s degree, with the hope of making a meaningful impact on the lives of seniors in my community.”

Mr. Hutagaol is a freshman business administration major with a focus on health services and senior living. He grew up assisting his grandparents with household chores and lived with and assisted a family member who was passing of cancer, leading to his interest in the healthcare field. He has held leadership roles in his church, as well as serving as head of logistics for a student entrepreneurial project with Enactus.

“Fred was nominated for this award on the basis of his scholarship and his heart for service, as reflected in his bio,” said Lisa Kuhlman, associate professor of business at Southern. “He is focused on serving others and making a difference in the world.”

Morning Pointe Senior Living has been awarding the endowment scholarship since 2017 in response to the growing need for qualified caregivers and other senior living professionals. Each year, Southern Adventist University selects a recipient who is majoring in health services and senior living administration.

“Morning Pointe values our relationship with Southern Adventist University and the quality of its healthcare administration program,” said Franklin Farrow, Morning Pointe Senior Living co-founder and CEO. “It is always a pleasure to award this endowment, and we were impressed with Fred and his obvious heart for serving seniors and dedication to his calling. We can’t wait to see how his career develops.”
