Valley Scholars
Help Shenandoah Valley students become the first in their families to earn a college degree

Sustaining Their Success


It works! The first cohort of Valley Scholars grabbed hold of the JMU dream and became the first in their families to graduate from college in 2023. They have landed successful jobs and grad school admission. The second cohort will graduate this year. Meanwhile, JMU freshmen, sophomores and juniors are excelling across the board.


This is just the beginning. 


Each year, the next class of Valley Scholars applies for JMU admission and needs your scholarship support to make their Madison Experience a reality. Donors like you 

Like their pioneering predecessors, these middle school and high school students have committed themselves to the intensive 5-year college prep program and are looking ahead to the Valley Scholars promise of a JMU scholarship.  


Each student’s scholarship depends on the generosity of someone like YOU.


Help deliver on the promise. Make your gift now to help future Valley Scholars attend JMU.
