The Treasures of ECU!
James and Connie Maynard and the College of Education established the Maynard Scholars Program at East Carolina University on May 31, 2006. This four year $26,000 award is available to outstanding high school seniors each year.
The Maynard Scholars program is modeled after the N.C. Teaching Fellows Scholarship and as so, recipients will be expected to teach in a public, charter or government school for four years in one of the stated counties following graduation. Individuals have up to seven years to complete this requirement. The Maynard Scholarship is administered from the ECU Education Community of Scholars office.
