Through the Ellsworth Foundation and the Board of Trustees, ECC maintains a strong scholarship program; the College participates in all federal and state financial aid programs. ECC's picturesque campus includes the Gentle Student Center, an indoor pool/jacuzzi/sauna, tennis courts, residence halls and new apartment-style student housing that opened in 2003, and historic Bullock Jones Hall. In addition, the Calkins Nature Center, approximately four miles from campus, provides students and area residents a 76-acre woodland classroom along the Iowa River as well as an interpretive center which houses the Ellsworth College Museum.
