SUBJECTIncentive Scholarship Program
Elizabeth City State University
NUMBER:388

DATE:December 10, 1998

Effective July 1, 1999. The Incentive Scholarship Program is intended to give needed aid to well-prepared,
in-state students who want to attend Elizabeth City State University on a full-time basis. The cost for
tuition, fees, room and board, and books to attend ECSU will be calculated as the maximum
financial aid package. Special appropriated Incentive Scholarship Funds (maximum $3,800 per
recipient per academic year) will be used after all other need-based funds for which a student is
also eligible have been included in the student’s financial aid package. The awards are available
to entering first-time freshmen and entering first-time transfer students, and will be renewable semester-
by-semester as long as the recipient meets all applicable criteria listed below:
