Introduction
Essex County College awards many scholarships to both returning and graduating students. Generally, there are three types of scholarships for returning students:
presidential, international, and external donor scholarships.
Returning students may apply for international or external donor scholarships. Presidential scholarships are awarded by the President of Essex County Collefe. International scholarships are open to students with F! visa status. Criteria, for external donor scholarships vary from one type to another. However, students receiving financial aid are not eligible for international, presidential or external donor scholarships.
Graduating students may qualify to apply for transfer scholarships. Over 20 organizations provide scholarships to students who graduate from Essex County College, and have been accepted as transfer students at four-year colleges and universities. This category of scholarships does not exclude students on financial aid.
We hope that prospective scholarship applicants will find information provided in this scholarship directory useful. Detailed criteria pertaining to the various scholarships that ECC awards to both returning and graduating students each year is provided in the specific sections of the handbook. More information may be obtained from the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs.
