Heart & Hustle Former CWU baseball player and Distinguished Alumni Awardee Jeff McShane (’85) has established the Heart & Hustle Scholarship at Central to support student- athletes who exhibit standout behaviors, both in athletics and academics. “The criteria for the Heart and Hustle Scholarship are intended to reflect my experiences at Central and the attributes that have benefited me in my career,” said McShane.
“This year’s recipients clearly meet and exceed the criteria for the scholarship, and I am humbled to contribute to their positive experience at Central and to their future pursuits.” This scholarship encourages humility and hard work, helping athletes grow into well- rounded leaders ready to succeed both on and off the field. As these student-athletes graduate and carry these values into their future, the impact of this contribution will keep making a difference, creating a lasting legacy of leadership and inspiration in the communities they become part of. “ I always get brought back to that cold, windy dugout in Ellensburg and our coach telling us to “keep the faith” and to keep working…and the profound effect that experience had on my journey.” Jeff McShane
