Greylock Federal Credit Union awarded two rounds of scholarships to college-bound high school seniors. Twenty-two awards of $500 each were granted in Berkshire County and Columbia County, NY, through the Credit Union’s annual Community Enrichment Scholarship Program. Five Scholastic Achievement Awards of $1,000 each were awarded to employees’ children as part of Greylock’s employee benefits package. In total, 26 students were awarded $16,000 toward their continuing education.
“Greylock is always proud to support and invest in our youth throughout the year,” said Greylock Senior Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer JamieEllen Moncecchi. “But during this season of graduation and celebration, it is our pleasure to honor these students with well-deserved scholarships to advance their educational pursuits.”

The funds will be applied toward tuition at state-accredited or nationally-accredited two or four-year colleges or universities or a full-time technical school program.
