Student Aid
When tragedy strikes, the JMU family responds

Support the programs and services that help make JMU home. They address our students' needs by providing mental health services, improving food insecurity, and boosting overall wellness. Several contribute to the most memorable parts of the Madison Experience, such as watching the Marching Royal Dukes perform, visiting UREC, and reading The Breeze.

If you are in a position to help, you can provide critical support to these students and JMU with a gift today.
