TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. --  Balfour Beatty Communities Foundations is once again offering post-secondary academic scholarships to both high school seniors and undergraduate students who reside in Balfour Beatty Communities military family housing. The application process is now open for scholarships that will be awarded for the 2014 to 2015 academic year.

Balfour Beatty Communities Foundation, a non-profit organization, which was founded in 2007, is committed to honoring military personnel - active, disabled and fallen - and their families.

One of the Foundation's primary goals is to support continuing education and the development of future community leaders through an annual academic scholarship program and other initiatives.

Applicants must be the child of an active-duty service member and reside in Balfour Beatty Communities military housing. Additional eligibility requirements, application details and submittal requirements can be found on the Balfour Beatty Communities Foundation website at www.bbcommunitiesfoundation.org. All applications must be postmarked by April 15.

"We are so thankful to be able to support the continuing education of our young residents through the Foundation scholarship program," said Chris Williams, Balfour Beatty Communities Foundation president. "I encourage all of our residents who are planning on, or currently attending, a post-secondary school to apply for a Foundation Scholarship in recognition of their hard work and achievements."

On average, Foundation scholarships are awarded in amounts up to $2,500, however larger amounts may be awarded based on the number and caliber of submissions.

Balfour Beatty Communities manages the privatized family housing at Travis.
 
"Balfour Beatty Communities is committed to providing a quality living environment that supports the diverse interests and needs of the military families residing with us," Williams said. "Through the Balfour Beatty Communities Foundation, we extend our appreciation and gratitude for the important work performed by military members and the many sacrifices their families make."
