2024 Scholarship Application

We are thrilled to announce the launch of ECCO’s new scholarship program, the Neighbors Helping Neighbors Scholarship.

This initiative is part of our commitment to support the families we serve by investing in the very future of their children. The Neighbors Helping Neighbors Scholarship aims to provide financial assistance to help these young individuals pursue their academic dreams and career ambitions. We believe in the power of education to transform lives and are excited to help ease the financial burden on our clients’ families, making their goals more accessible.
