Housing
On-site students are responsible for obtaining their own housing in the Greenville area during the didactic phase of the curriculum. Detailed information regarding university housing is available through University Housing Services at 1-800-328-7668 or 252-ECU-HOME (328-4663) or visit Campus Living. The student should be ready for travel by personal vehicle. Since many clinical rotation sites are away from the Greenville area, all students should expect to be assigned to these away sites and should anticipate the need to find housing in these areas during the clinical portion of the Program. Clinical coordinators will work with AHEC about potential housing at these away sites; however, neither AHEC nor the Program guarantees to provide housing.
Financial Aid
Through the use of federal and state funds, as well as contributions from its many friends and alumni, East Carolina University makes every effort to assist students in the continuation of their education. Three main types of financial assistance are available to qualified students-educational loans, part-time employment, and gift aid consisting of grants and scholarships. The university participates in the following federal and state Programs which provide funds on the basis of financial need:
- North Carolina Health, Science, and Math Loan Program
- The University of North Carolina Minority Presence Grant Program
- North Carolina Rural Health Association Grant Program
- U.S. Rural Health Association Grant Program
- U.S. Public Health Service
- U.S. National Health Service

- Stafford Student Loan Program
- Other Federal Loan Programs
Scholarships
- North Carolina Academy of Physician Assistants Scholarship
- PA Foundation Scholarship Program
- Scholarships offered by the College of Allied Health Sciences

The Office of Student Financial Aid assists students in obtaining funds from sources best suited for the individual’s need. Please direct all matters concerning financial aid to the Office of Student Financial Aid at 252-328-6610 or at their web site: Office of Student Financial Aid.
Students are encouraged to obtain financial aid, if needed, rather than seek employment during their professional education because of the academic and clinical time demands of the curriculum. Part-time employment by PA students at ECU is strongly discouraged.
