ECTC accepting applications for 2025-2026 scholarships

Students attending, or planning on attending, Elizabethtown Community and Technical College may now submit their applications for the college’s 2025-2026 scholarships.

According to ECTC, students only need to submit one application to apply for more than 50 scholarship opportunities. Some scholarships are available for all students while others are targeted to specific programs. The college says more than $108,000 was awarded through ECTC scholarships last year.

The local scholarships are joined by several federal and state financial aid opportunities, including the Work Ready Kentucky Scholarship.

“Truly, it is a gift certificate for tuition if you’re going into a healthcare field, manufacturing, business, IT, transportation, automotive, any of those fields that the Work Ready Kentucky Scholarship does pay for the tuition for any Kentucky citizen who does not already have a degree,” said ECTC President and CEO Dr. Juston Pate. 

Pate says the easiest way to learn more is by visiting the ECTC admissions office, and the college has Scholarship Day workshops and other events on the calendar to help students get started.

“We’re having express enrollment December 17 through 19, and that’s kind of your one stop shop,” Pate said. “Come in, get everything from initial financial aid work to registration, books. Those days are really set up to help students expedite that process.”

The scholarship application can be found on the ECTC website. The priority application deadline is February 28.
