Chancellor’s Scholars Match
The State of North Carolina and the ECU Foundation have committed to match gifts that create fully funded Chancellor’s Scholars endowments, accelerating the growth and impact of this important initiative. Through the Chancellor’s Scholars initiative, ECU continues to expand its scholarship offerings to recruit a wide variety of first-year students and retain them as they select their majors and are welcomed into our colleges. We understand the competitive nature of higher education and are ensuring that no highly motivated student misses the opportunity to choose ECU and thrive here.
