COB Scholarships | Apply Before Jan. 15
The College of Business offers approximately $250,000 in scholarships each year. Scholarships range from $250 to $5,000 per year. The CoB is now utilizing the ECUAWard on-line application portal for all scholarships. Online applications will be accepted between November 1, 2018 and January 15, 2019. No paper applications will be accepted.
Scholarships are available for undergraduates who have declared or have an intended major within the College of Business. Scholarships are also available for students in the MBA* and MSA* programs. Some scholarships are available for any degree concentration within the College of Business, and others are specific to a single concentration/degree (BSBA with a concentration in Accounting, Finance, Management, Management Information Systems, or Marketing and Supply Chain Management; BS in Hospitality Management; MBA; or MSA).
To get started, visit ECUAWard at http://ecu.academicworks.com. Sign in with your Pirate ID and password. You first must complete a general application. Instructions for applying to scholarships through ECUAWard are attached. The general application will ask questions about your involvement in campus and community service activities, your future educational plans, career goals, etc. Your permanent mailing address, major, GPA, hours completed, etc. will be uploaded from Banner, so you will not be required to enter that information.
Once you have completed the general application, including your electronic signature, you will be prompted to complete a College of Business supplemental application. Only College of Business students will be prompted to complete this supplemental application. YOU MUST COMPLETE BOTH THE GENERAL APPLICATION AND THE COLLEGE OF BUSINESS SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATION IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR SCHOLARSHIPS. Once you complete both of these applications, you will automatically be applied to all general scholarship for which you meet the qualifications.
While applying online, it may be suggested that you apply for additional scholarships that require you to complete an supplemental essay or question. In order to be considered for those scholarships, you must complete the “apply-to” application.
College of Business Scholarships are credited directly to the students tuition and fee bill from the Cashier’s Office. Typically, half of the scholarship will be awarded in the fall semester (Fall 2019), and half will be awarded in the spring semester (Spring 2020). Most scholarships require that a student be enrolled full-time, although there are some exceptions.
I have attached a document that provides some tips for creating a strong scholarship application. I suggest that you follow these tips to give you the best chance of being selected for a College of Business scholarship.
All applicants who submit a completed application will be notified of their application status via http://ecu.academicworks.com by April 2019.
