How the Emergency Fund supports Madison student success
We're getting close to our Giving Tuesday goal!
Message from the JMC Academic Advising Team
I am reaching out on behalf of the James Madison College Academic Advising Team to provide insight into how the JMC Emergency Scholarship Fund directly supports our students.
I love my job because each day – of my more than 15 years at the college – has been different than the one before. I never quite know what to expect when I walk through the door. When students visit the college’s academic advising office, they bring exciting news, interesting questions and sometimes heartbreaking problems.

The JMC Emergency Scholarship Fund is an important tool that expands the support our team can provide. Each semester, we meet with students who are excelling academically but facing sudden financial hardships – unstable housing, unexpected medical bills or family emergencies. Because of the JMC Emergency Scholarship Fund, we can offer real help at these critical moments and support students to stay on track during times of hardship.
These emergency scholarships do more than just cover immediate expenses – they send a powerful message to our students that their academic community stands behind them. Your donations offer support and stability for a student who might otherwise struggle to reach graduation.
