Pittsfield-based Berkshire Bank has selected 18 high school seniors to receive $2,000 scholarships through its Berkshire Bank Foundation Scholarship Program. 

A total of 32 employees and 10 community leaders reviewed more than 100 applications to select the winners. The winners all live in regions served by Berkshire Bank. 

In addition to New York, the recipients come from western Massachusetts and southern Vermont. 

The scholarships were awarded to students who have exemplified community service through their volunteer efforts, have been successful academically and have a demonstrated financial need. Only high school seniors attending high schools in communities served by Berkshire Bank were eligible to apply.
