Jack Bates and Helene Bates Fund

Jack Bates and Helene Bates Fund

Established in 2019 by the last will and testament of Pansy Cradduck Bates, the Bates Fund exists to aid and assist students experiencing a financial crisis that substantially affects the ability of the student to attend ECU and progress in his or her studies. It is not expected that students will repay these funds; however, students are encouraged to “pay it forward” in the future or when they are able.
