Most scholarships are auto-match opportunities, which means that you will automatically be considered for any scholarships for which you meet the criteria based on your general and supplemental application answers and the information uploaded from Banner.
While applying, you may see additional āapply-toā scholarships that require supplemental questions. Completing the supplemental questions is necessary for consideration for those scholarships.
Scholarships are credited to your ECU tuition bill, typically split between Fall 2025 and Spring 2026. Most require full-time enrollment, although there are some exceptions.
