Following the decision to merge Edinburgh's Stevenson College, Jewel and Esk Valley College and Telford College the respective students' associations at each institution united to form a new association in advance of the merger of the Colleges to provide continuity to students.[4]

The association has three full-time elected student officers,[5] and four dedicated staff members.[6] Additionally, it has been awarded two rounds of Scottish Government Climate Challenge Funding, which enables the association to employ two full-time Sustainability Officers.[7] This makes ECSA one of the best resourced college students' associations in Scotland. ECSA is a member of the National Union of Students.
