ECA 2026 Scholarship Recipients & Thank You Contribution Supporters

2026 SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS

$68,000 Awarded

The ECA is proud to support the educational goals of our members' families through the ECA Scholarship Program.

The program is open to Florida graduating high school seniors whose parent, parents, or legal guardian is an ECA member or employed by an ECA member company. Scholarships are available for students graduating in 2027 who plan to attend an accredited college or university—either in Florida or out of state—and pursue any course of study.

Applications will be available in January 2027. We encourage all member companies to share this opportunity with their employees and help spread the word so every eligible student has the chance to apply. This is a valuable benefit of ECA membership, and we look forward to recognizing another outstanding group of scholarship recipients.
