Alumni Scholarships are credited directly to the student’s fee bill from the Cashier’s Office. Half of the scholarship will be awarded in fall and half will be awarded in spring. If a student is on a co-op for a semester, a credit will be applied in one lump sum to the student’s fee bill for the semester they return—unless otherwise notified or discussed, this policy stands. If a student graduates early, only under special circumstances may a credit be applied in one lump sum to the student’s fee bill. If the student does not attend ECU for the following academic year, the scholarship must be forfeited.
If you have any questions about the application process, please call the East Carolina Alumni Association at 252-328-4723, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
