UP FOR THE CHALLENGE

ECU welcomes 20 new EC Scholars

Theater arts, physical therapy, nursing, engineering and business are a few of the planned fields of study for 20 incoming freshmen selected for East Carolina University’s prestigious EC Scholars Program.

The program is a four-year merit scholarship recognizing outstanding academic performance, commitment to community engagement and strong leadership skills. Recipients are admitted to ECU’s Honors College and receive a scholarship for four years, along with a stipend for study abroad, for a total value of approximately $61,000.

The entering EC Scholar recipients have completed a rigorous three-tier selection process that includes meeting the Honors College admissions criteria, having an additional faculty review and completing an on-campus interview. The incoming EC Scholar recipients have an average combined math/verbal SAT score of 1336 and an average unweighted GPA of 3.93.
