June 16, 2017 - Pittsfield – Greylock Federal Credit Union announced awards to local college-bound high school students who each received $500 from the Credit Union’s “Community Enrichment” scholarship program. The scholarships were presented to community-minded senior class members from eight Berkshire County high schools. 

Greylock President John L. Bissell said, “Our scholarship program is one of the ways we support the community involvement of local students. These recipients showed their dedication to the community through outstanding volunteer service. It is our pleasure to honor them with well-deserved scholarships to advance their educational pursuits.”

Congratulations to this year’s recipients:

Devon Atwell             Lee High School

Jessie Downer            Wahconah High School

Nicholas Gray            Monument Mountain

Niku Darashi              Mt. Greylock

Hannah Dargie           Pittsfield High School

Applicants were judged on community involvement and an essay entitled, “What does community mean to me?” Scholarships were awarded to those who demonstrated an outstanding level of community and volunteer work. The scholarships are to be applied toward tuition at state-accredited or nationally-accredited two or four-year colleges or universities.  

Greylock congratulates all of the students and thanks the teachers and guidance counselors who encouraged students to participate in the Greylock Scholarship application process.
