JOE BEIRNE SCHOLARSHIP

This is a reminder that applications are now being accepted by the National CWA Headquarters, through April 30, for the CWA Joe Beirne Foundation's annual scholarship offerings for the 2008-2009 school year.

The Foundation's Board of Directors has approved the awarding of thirty (30) partial college scholarships of up to $3,000 each, and the winners also will receive second-year scholarships for the same amount, contingent upon satisfactory academic achievement.

Eligible for the scholarships are CWA members, their spouses, children and grandchildren, including the dependents of retired, laid-off, or deceased members.  Applicants must be high school graduates or high school students who will graduate during the year in which they apply.  Undergraduate and graduate students returning to school may also apply.

Applications will be available solely online for completion and submission to the Foundation's website:  http://www.cwa-union.org/members/beirne/.

The winners will be chosen by lottery drawing.

DON'T MISS THE DEADLINE!!!
