MALVERN, PA --- JUNE 22, 2022 --- Balfour Beatty Communities Foundation, Balfour Beatty Communities’ non-profit organization, announced today that it has awarded 49 scholarships totaling more than $120, 000 to residents spanning the company’s three portfolios—military housing, multifamily housing, and student housing.

The selected recipients are extraordinary members of their communities and we wish them all the very best as they further their education in pursuit of their dreams.”

Balfour Beatty Communities residents, and their dependents, planning to attend an accredited educational or technical institution for the 2022/2023 school year were eligible to apply. Scholarship recipients were selected based on their academic achievements, community and school involvement, and financial need.

“This award means a lot to me,” said scholarship recipient Shannon Busch. “It’s helping me become a better leader by furthering my knowledge and allowing me to give back to my peers.”
