Linda Steel-Goodwin, a Lackland Family Homes resident here at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, was awarded an academic scholarship for the 2017/2018 school year through Balfour Beatty Communities Foundation.

The Balfour Beatty Communities Foundation scholarship program awards academic scholarships to high school seniors, undergraduate and graduate student residents of a Balfour Beatty Communities property who are attending, or plan to attend, an accredited higher education or technical institution. Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of high academic achievement, demonstrated leadership qualities and a commitment to community involvement. Balfour Beatty Communities Foundation has awarded a total of 49 academic scholarships for the upcoming 2017/2018 year.

“On behalf of the Foundation, I would like to congratulate all of this year’s scholarship winners,” said Chris Williams, Balfour Beatty Communities Foundation president. “This year’s winners have impressed us with their enthusiasm and commitment to their communities. We are honored to help support their academic endeavors with these awards, and look forward to their future achievements.”

Steel-Goodwin currently attends Missouri State University in Springfield, Mo. where she is pursuing a Nursing degree.
