Erie Community College Foundation’s Scholarships

The Erie Community College Foundation, Inc. is committed to supporting all students, with many different backgrounds and goals. Due to the recent Supreme Court’s decision, we would like you to know that the scholarship application process is separate from the college and college admissions, following the qualifications set by our donors. The ECC Foundation is a not-for-profit supporting SUNY Erie and SUNY Erie students by Scholarship Opportunities made possible thanks to the generosity of our donors and supporters.
