TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. --  In 2009 Balfour Beatty Communities, responsible for the privatized family housing of Tyndall Air Force Base Florida, formed Balfour Beatty Communities Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to honoring military personnel - active, disabled and fallen - and their families.

One of the primary goals of the foundation is to promote the pursuit of education and a commitment to community leadership through educational scholarships to the children of active duty military members that reside in family housing.

The foundation is again offering scholarships that reward high school and undergraduate students in need of financial assistance, recognizing their educational and leadership efforts.

Family housing residents with high school and undergraduate students are encouraged to apply for these 2010-2011 academic year scholarships; valued up to $2,500. The application, details and requirements can be found at www.bbcommunitiesfoundation.org. The application deadline is April 15, 2010.

Balfour Beatty Communities Foundation was proud to award 17 academic scholarships to students residing in its communities across the country for the 2009-2010 academic year.


According to Bruce Robinson, president and CEO, "Balfour Beatty Communities is committed to providing a quality living environment that supports the diverse interests and needs of our military families. Through Balfour Beatty Communities Foundation, we say thank you for the work that you do and the sacrifices military families make."
