Greylock Federal announced that 13 area college-bound high school students have received $500 college scholarships as part of the Credit Union’s “Treat Everyone Better Than They Expect” scholarship program.

Greylock’s scholarships are presented to students who demonstrate an outstanding level of community service, volunteer work and an essay.

Greylock President Marilyn L. Sperling said, “We hope that this program not only helps families fund the increasing cost of higher education but also will enforce positive behavior that helps to develop admirable values such as mutual respect and tolerance, a positive attitude, and service to and concern for others.”
