The CWA Local 1182 Union announces the 2017 Scholarship Awards Program.  Under the Program, ten (10) $1,000 scholarships will be awarded to seniors attending high school for their first year of college tuition.

Program Guidelines & Priorities: 

* Applicants must be a biological or adopted child (certificate of adoption required) of a member of the Local 1182 union. Grandchildren and Stepchildren are not eligible.

* Applicants must plan to attend a two (2)-year community college or four (4)-Year College or University.
