The Honors Program has initiated coordination for nationally competitive scholarships. Please note that this list of scholarships is not comprehensive of all awards that you should consider. Scholarships not listed include: JMU scholarships, state scholarships, need-based scholarships, and scholarships below $5000. The awards listed here represent a select number of nationally competitive scholarships that represent significant funding and recognition for the student and require long-term planning and preparation.

If you are thinking about applying for any of these scholarships, please schedule an appointment to meet with Dr. Melinda Adams, JMU’s Prestigious Scholarships Coordinator, who will help you learn about scholarship opportunities and guide you through the application process. Also feel free to stop by to see Dr. Adams if you have any questions about any of these scholarships or would just like to talk about possible opportunities. These scholarships are extremely competitive, so it is a good idea to begin the process as early as possible—even a year or more in advance.
