Greylock Federal Credit Union Awards $20,500 in Scholarships to 31 Students

PITTSFIELD — Greylock Federal Credit Union awarded a total of $20,500 in scholarships to 31 students in recognition of excellence and achievement. Twenty-one students received a $500 Community Enrichment Scholarship for exemplifying positive community spirit and demonstration of respect and care for peers. Another 10 students received a $1,000 Scholastic Achievement Award, which is designated for children of Greylock employees.

Opportunity to apply for the Community Enrichment Scholarship was given to all public high schools in Berkshire and Columbia (N.Y.) counties. Applicants were required to be a Greylock member and write an essay showcasing their meaningful community involvement.

“I’m so proud of this year’s class,” said Jennifer Connor Shumsky, assistant vice president, Community Support & Events. “It’s incredible to see the tremendous work each of these students are doing in our community. Everyone here at Greylock wishes them the best as they embark on the exciting next chapter of their lives.”

The scholarships will be applied toward tuition at a state- or nationally accredited two- or four-year college or university, or a full-time technical school program.

“The young people who apply for this scholarship are always amazing. We are thrilled so many students shared how they are helping to make our community a better place for everyone,” said JamieEllen Moncecchi, senior vice president and chief administrative officer. “It’s truly a direct reflection of Greylock’s values to care, educate, and inspire. It’s also very exciting to help the children of our employees in their higher education journey. I can’t wait to see this entire cohort become part of our next generation of leaders and professionals.”
