JMU Libraries
Support JMU students with your gift to JMU Libraries

When you make a gift to JMU Libraries you support our student employee scholarship program and our Special Collections. At JMU Libraries, we provide high-impact professional learning experiences for students while giving them an opportunity to make a difference at JMU and beyond. Whether they are working in our Special Collections processing fragile letters and photographs or teaching each other to create using 3D printers and laser cutters in the makerspaces, our students are critical to the Libraries' success. JMU Libraries provides students with valuable, real-world experience while engaging them to do research, help us manage our vast collections, and help each other as peer research advisors. Student employees have a real impact on everyone's library experience.

Please make a gift to the Libraries so that we can continue to award scholarships to our student employees and document the history of JMU and the Shenandoah Valley.
