ECTC 2025-26 scholarship application now open

Published on Dec 4, 2024

The Elizabethtown Community and Technical College 2025-26 scholarship application is now open. Only one application is needed to be considered for more than 50 scholarship opportunities available, and all new and returning students are encouraged to apply.

Scholarships vary in amount and eligibility criteria. Many are available to all students, while others are available to students of specific academic programs as specified by individual donors. Last year, students from all walks of life were awarded more than $108,000 in ECTC scholarships.

“We have some of the most generous donors in the community,” said Vice President of Advancement and ECTC Foundation Executive Director Dr. Megan Stith. “It’s thanks to them that ECTC students can offset the cost of our tuition, which is already the lowest in the state. The number and variety of scholarships available mean that those who want to earn a degree or certificate can afford to do so.”

New students should also complete the ECTC admissions application and get an ID number before applying for scholarships. The 2025-2026 Free Application for Federal Student Aid also is required.

“ECTC’s financial aid team is available to help students both with filling out their FAFSA and with the scholarship application,” said Director of Financial Aid Michael Barlow. “We want this to be as simple as possible for students and prospective students.”

ECTC will again host multiple Scholarship Day Workshops where students can receive help with their scholarship application. Events will be held in January and February and more information will be provided at a later date.

Students can view a full listing of available scholarships and apply at ectc.us/scholarships. The priority application deadline is Feb. 28.
