The goal of the Office of University Scholarships is to provide students and their families with information on both ECU and external scholarship opportunities.
Scholarships are gifts of money that do not require repayment. Scholarships usually recognize special achievements in academics, talent, leadership, and service. Some scholarships may also require that students demonstrate financial need. Financial need for ECU scholarships will be determined by submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA should be filed annually and opens on October 1 at FAFSA.gov.
How does your student apply for scholarships?
There are several ways a student is awarded a scholarship at East Carolina University. Find information about our on-line application portal and visit the ECUAWard portal. This site lists our opportunities with short descriptions of each opportunity including the eligibility requirements. Additional information may also be located on the individual webpages of the college / department that is responsible for making the scholarship awards.
Some scholarships are available campus-wide regardless of major (Example: ECU Alumni Association and Student Affairs scholarships) while others may be very specific in nature and earmarked for a single major. Students are encouraged to visit webpages of their respective college / departments to learn the process for their major and make sure they have the most current and accurate information.
