ECPI University Scholarships
Scholarships provide financial assistance that typically does not require repayment. ECPI University may offer institutional scholarships for qualified students, while external organizations also provide scholarship opportunities.
Merit-Based Scholarships
These scholarships generally recognize students who demonstrate strong academic achievement or exceptional performance.
Eligibility may be based on:
- Grade point average
- Academic excellence
- Leadership accomplishments
- Community involvement
- Program-specific achievements
Need-Based Scholarships
Some scholarship opportunities are designed for students who demonstrate financial need. Eligibility often requires completion of the FAFSA and supporting financial documentation.
Military Scholarships
Military-affiliated students may qualify for scholarships or educational assistance through military-related organizations and benefits programs.
Employer-Sponsored Scholarships
Certain employers partner with educational institutions to support employee development. Employees should ask their human resources department whether scholarships or tuition assistance are available.
Grants
Grants differ from loans because they generally do not need to be repaid.
Students may qualify for grants from:
- Federal government programs
- State education agencies
- Private foundations
- Community organizations
- Professional associations
Since grant funding can be limited, applying early is highly recommended.
Student Loans
Loans can help bridge the gap between available financial aid and the remaining cost of attendance.
Students should borrow responsibly and fully understand:
- Interest rates
- Repayment terms
- Grace periods
- Monthly payment expectations
- Total borrowing costs over time
Creating a repayment plan before graduation can reduce financial stress after entering the workforce.

ECPI University has a long-standing commitment to serving military students.
Eligible individuals may include:
- Active-duty service members
- Veterans
- National Guard members
- Reservists
- Military spouses
- Eligible dependents
Military education benefits can significantly reduce tuition costs while supporting career advancement both during and after military service.
Students should speak with a military education advisor to determine which benefits they may qualify for.
