60 Years of Careers — ECPI University Scholarship Match

Every year, the Beacon Education Foundation helps students facing financial hardship stay enrolled and finish their programs. This year, in celebration of 60 years of career-focused education, ECPI University has joined Beacon to support the students working to build better futures for themselves and their communities.

This campaign is your opportunity to be part of that work, at a moment when your generosity can make a meaningful difference.

A Milestone Moment with a Multiplied Mission

A financial setback shouldn’t determine a student’s future. For more than a decade, the Beacon Education Foundation has worked to make sure it doesn’t. ECPI University’s 60th anniversary has brought a rare opportunity to amplify that work.

ECPI University has pledged to donate $2 for every $1 donated to the Beacon Foundation, effectively turning a $100 donation into $300.  

With your support and ECPI’s matching contribution, we can reach a goal of $200,000, giving more students the chance to finish what they started.

Why Your Support Matters More Than Ever

The students Beacon supports are often managing far more than just college. They’re adults balancing jobs, families, and in many cases military service while working toward a credential that can change their economic future. Many come with prior college experience or are returning to build skills for a new career.

But the financial pressures they face are real. A 2024 Gallup and Lumina survey found that 35% of currently enrolled students had considered stopping out within the previous six months, with cost cited as a leading reason.

Sometimes it comes down to something as small as a car repair. For students already stretched thin, an unexpected expense can be the difference between finishing and walking away.

Your generosity can change that. The students you support today are the workforce that can power your community tomorrow.

Make Your Gift Today

Your gift goes directly to a student who needs it. From the moment it’s made, ECPI will match your donation two-to-one, turning every dollar you give into three. Beacon ensures every contribution goes entirely toward scholarships, with no overhead or fees.
