Last Chance to Apply for Beirne Scholarships

Don't miss the March 31 deadline to apply for CWA's Beirne scholarships, which can help you attend college or pursue an online distance-learning degree in the 2010-11 academic year.

The annual scholarships from the Joe Beirne Foundation, named for CWA's founding president, provide 15 students up to $3,000 toward their college tuition. The award can be renewed for a second year if winners have a satisfactory academic record.

CWA members, spouses, children, grandchildren and dependents of retired, laid-off or deceased members are eligible. Winners will be chosen from a lottery of eligible applicants.

The applications are available online only at: www.cwa-union.org/members/beirne, where you'll also find more information. Applications must be submitted electronically no later than midnight Wednesday, March 31.
