Individual Giving


Scholarship Opportunities

The Division of Student Affairs offers several scholarships to ECU students.


Planned Giving/Estate Giving

Planned giving is a form of giving where the donor leaves a portion of their estate to East Carolina University. This is a great way to make a meaningful gift and receive recognition while supporting the Division of Student Affairs and its students now. This is also a great way to leave your legacy here at ECU.

If you are interested in speaking to someone about leaving ECU in your will, please contact Dr. Keith Tingley at (252) 737-4827 or tingleyk@ecu.edu.


Naming Opportunities

Naming opportunities are a wonderful way to permanently recognize a major gift, and an area of campus that might be special to you or a family member.

As proud Pirates, parents and/or leaders in your community, the Division of Student Affairs would be honored to have a significant part of the Division named in honor of your significant investment in our campus.
