Beirne Scholarship Winners

CWA established the Joe Beirne Foundation in October 1974 to honor CWA's founding president and his commitment to education.

Today the foundation offers 15 partial college scholarships of $3,000 each for the upcoming academic year. Winners were selected in a lottery drawing and also receive second-year scholarships for the same amount if they meet satisfactory academic standards. Part-time students taking fewer than 12 credits receive half the scholarship amount.
