CWA members, their children and other relatives are eligible for up to $3,000 in college scholarships for the coming 2011-12 school year through the union's Joe Beirne Foundation. The deadline to apply is April 30.

Applicants' names will be entered into a lottery and 15 winners will be selected. Winners also will be eligible for second-year scholarships in the same amount based on satisfactory academic achievement.

Eligible applicants 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 this year. Undergraduate and graduate students returning to school may also apply.
