You can make financial contributions to support student-focused activities in the School of Engineering.

School of Engineering (Account 14786)

Funds are always needed to help students engage in more relevant and meaningful engineering design, research, and service learning projects.  Each year, we expect Engineering students to apply their skills and knowledge to real-world, human problems.  From the first freshman design competition, through the Introduction to Engineering course, to the six semesters of Engineering Design, every student team is expected to design and prototype real engineering products and processes.  We welcome donations that could be used to help defray the cost of materials needed by students who participate in these projects. By participating in these types of projects, many of our students will also qualify to present their work at regional or national engineering conferences.  We also welcome donations that can be used to help defray the cost of student conference travel.  The faculty, students, and staff of the JMU School of Engineering would like to thank you in advance for any support you can provide for these important and transformative student experiences.

The Peter G. Jackson Scholarship (Account 25548)

This scholarship was endowed during the spring of 2008, and will be first awarded for the 2009-10 academic year. The Jackson Family – specifically, Peter G. Jackson, Peter S. Jackson, Susan R. Jackson, Diane L. Fellenbaum, John D. Fellenbaum, Susan J. Reid, and Robert D. Reid – came together to create this endowment. The endowment will provide the financial resources to honor and support outstanding undergraduate student scholars enrolled in the general engineering program at James Madison University. Additional contributions will increase the amount that can be awarded to a student each year.
