Thanks to our donors, 2,070 ECTC students got the support they needed through Family Scholar House-ECTC to stay on track and remain in school during the 2025-2026 academic year. We appreciate your investment in student success, your help in removing barriers, and your role in helping students build brighter futures.

Your support truly changes lives!

Your legacy can create opportunity.

If you are 70½ or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA to help ECTC students and support our community’s future. This is a meaningful way to give back and may also offer tax benefits.

Thank you for helping students follow their dreams and change their lives through education.
