This spring, Greylock Federal Credit Union awarded 33 scholarships to high school seniors in Berkshire County and Columbia County, N.Y., as part of Greylock’s ongoing support and recognition of student excellence and achievement.

Greylock awarded 24 $500 Greylock Community Enrichment Scholarships to students who exemplify positive community spirit and demonstrate respect and concern for their peers in everything they do. Applicants were required to write an essay, which showcased their meaningful involvement in the community.

“Our scholarship selection committee received nearly 80 applications, and each one was impressive in their own right. I am so incredibly proud of all of our students and the tremendous work that they are doing in our community. I wish them all the best as they enter this next exciting chapter of their lives,” said Jennifer Connor-Shumsky, assistant vice president, Community Support and Events.

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

In addition to these scholarships, Greylock offers Scholastic Achievement Awards, which are designated for children of all Greylock employees who are also high school graduates. This year, Greylock awarded nine $1,000 Scholastic Achievement Awards.

In total, 33 students were awarded $21,000 toward their continuing education.

“Our youth are pretty amazing, and we are thrilled that so many of them took the time to submit an application and share the work that they are doing to make our community a better place. We know that they’re all going places, and we extend our very best to this next generation of leaders and professionals,” said JamieEllen Moncecchi, senior vice president, chief administrative officer. “We extend a special congratulations to all our employees with graduating seniors in their lives. We wish you all the best.”
