Funding
As part of our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusivity, ECU is committed to providing funds to support creative activities and initiatives that dismantle systems of oppression.
These funds are designed to empower individuals and groups in the ECU community to enact change and participate in shaping the future of the institution.
Funds
In Fall 2020, we announced two funding opportunities reserved for BIPOC students:
- Anti-Racism Student Action and Response (ARSAR) Fund
- Community Enhancement Fund
Awards
The ECU Graduation Award for Anti-Racism and Social Justice was created in to celebrate students whose work in The Show explores or responds to anti-Black, anti-Indigenous, or anti-Asian discrimination and racism. It was awarded for the first time in Spring 2020 to four students. Learn more about our 2020 Grad Award winners here.

Anti-Racism Student Action + Response Fund
The ARSAR Fund will support and enhance student-led dialogue, foster conversations around justice and inclusivity, and will support institutional and social change.
