After 5 failed login attempts, you will be locked out of your ECC Financial Aid Award System account.  If this happens, you will need to contact your Financial Aid Counselor to have your account unlocked.


You must have a financial aid record already established at Ellsworth Community College in order to use this system. If you have not begun the financial aid application process, you can get started by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online. Be sure to enter ECC's school code, 001862, on your application and we will automatically receive a copy 3-5 days after you submit it.  Once we receive your information from your FAFSA we will notify you that you will be able to access the ECC Financial Aid Award System.
