Twenty-one Edgecombe County employees recently strengthened their workplace skills by completing the Edgecombe Works! Office Skills Academy held at ECC. The program is a partnership between the college and Edgecombe County government. The college provides the instructor and training, and the county funds tuition and fees for participants.

Through the Next NC Scholarship, eligible students attending ECC can receive over $3,000, which is more than the cost of full-time tuition. The scholarship combines the federal Pell Grant with the state-funded financial aid program for a simplified and affordable education. Simply complete the 2024-2025 FAFSA to qualify, with no extra forms needed.
