Gordon Darragh Scholarship at ECU

A lesser-known scholarship at East Carolina University valued at up to $100,000 aims to attract high achieving students on par with North Carolina State’s Park Scholarship and the Morehead-Cain Scholarship at UNC Chapel Hill.

The Gordon Darragh Leadership Scholars Program provides a merit-based, four-year scholarship that covers tuition, fees, room and board, and emphasizes leadership development with the goal of enhancing the overall image of the university.

The scholarship’s namesake, Gordon Darragh, is a retired Greenville resident with a passion for supporting students. He said he hopes his scholarship helps attract the greatest talent to ECU.
