College today is more expensive than ever and is increasingly out of reach for many deserving young men and women. The CWU Alumni Association is one of Central’s major sponsors of scholarships for these students. Please contact us for more information, and please consider joining the hundreds of donors who make this critical support possible. The application for these scholarships is open from October 1st through March 1st. For more information, please visit the CWU Scholarships website.
