Team-Member Dependents
ECU Health Total Rewards has partnered with the ECU Health Foundation this year to expand a benefit offering toward investing in the talent pipeline of the future. The ECU Health Dependent Scholarship Program will offer (10) $2,500 scholarships of financial support to eligible dependents of ECU Health team members to assist in funding their future in a health care related major at an accredited college, university or technical school.
Building on ECU Health pride and fostering well-being, the program helps alleviate some of the financial burden associated with higher education and creates an early pipeline of interest for future ECU Health employment opportunities.
Criteria, application and the list of required documentation are available here.
The deadline for applicants to be considered is Wednesday, May 15, 2024. Note: Applicants should keep in mind the additional business days in mailing via USPS (or other mailing service).
If a team member or their dependent has questions, an AskPhin general inquiry form should be submitted by the team member as soon as possible.
