ECMC Scholars
Most Scholarship Programs Just Hand out Checks—We Do More Than That
Our candidates go through a rigorous two-year mentoring program in their junior and senior years of high school. If they succeed in the program, they can earn up to $6,000 for college.
By reaching students early in high school, the ECMC Scholars Program gives students the skills and resources to realize their college goals. Developed for students in Oregon, Virginia and Connecticut, the ECMC Scholars Program:
- Actively seeks students who have potential but not necessarily the best test scores or grades
- Gives students extra support during their junior and senior years
- Pairs students with mentors who help them build strong study and social skills
- Awards $4,000 to each successful ECMC Scholar for their first year of college
- Provides $2,000 to qualifying ECMC Scholars for their second year of college
We are proud of all of our ECMC Scholars and honored by the hard work of all the educators at our participating schools.
