Balfour Beatty Communities Foundation Awards 44 Residents with College Scholarships

2023 scholarship grants total over $113,000 and will contribute to recipients’ post-secondary education pursuits

MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Balfour Beatty Communities Foundation announced today that it has awarded 44 scholarships totaling more than $113,000 to residents spanning living in military housing, multifamily housing, and student housing owned and managed by Balfour Beatty Communities, LLC. The annual scholarship program supports the Foundation’s primary goal of encouraging and promoting the pursuit of education and commitment to community leadership.

“We are pleased to award these scholarships,” said Leslie Cohn, member of the Board of Directors at Balfour Beatty Communities Foundation. “Since its establishment, Balfour Beatty Communities Foundation has helped support the educational ambitions of more than 600 academic applicants across the country. We are honored to continue to deliver on our commitment of delivering exceptional living experiences through this important program.”

“This scholarship will take the weight of worrying about tuition costs for the next year off my shoulders as it’s already very mentally draining to pursue higher education while being a mother of two young children and battling cancer,” said Haley Lady, scholarship recipient and resident at Fort Gordon Family Homes. “My battle with cancer doesn’t allow me to work and I am also the sole caretaker of the children while my husband is serving the country, so I am not expendable. For all these reasons and more, I am very grateful for the generosity of the foundation for awarding me this scholarship.”

This is the 16th year of the Balfour Beatty Communities Foundation scholarship program. Since its inception in 2007, the foundation has awarded more than $1.7 million to deserving residents living at military, multifamily and student housing communities owned and managed by Balfour Beatty Communities.
