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 accepted until April 30, 2008. The winners will be chosen by lottery from those submitting the required essay.
