James Madison University (JMU) offers various scholarship options for students, including merit-based, need-based, and program-specific awards. Merit scholarships, such as the President’s and Dean’s Scholarships, recognize academic excellence and are automatically considered during admission. Need-based aid requires FAFSA submission to determine eligibility.
Departmental scholarships cater to specific majors, like business or arts, with varying criteria. External scholarships, including those from community organizations, can also supplement funding. JMU’s Office of Financial Aid provides a comprehensive database for opportunities. Early application and thorough research maximize chances of securing financial support.
