Can you just send me a check?

As a scholarship provider that issues hundreds of payments throughout the year across the state of Colorado, ECCLA uses Automated Clearing House (ACH) direct deposit payments as a way to reduce the risk of fraud and to ensure that every recipient receives their funding in a timely manner. Unfortunately, checks can easily become lost or stolen, which then becomes a headache for both ECCLA and the payee. ECCLA asks that all scholarship recipients set up their accounts to receive electronic payments.

However, we understand that circumstances might prevent a payee from receiving electronic payments and can make exceptions when needed. Please reach out to your scholarship manager to discuss your payment needs.
