Description

The James Monroe Scholars Program offers a $1,500 summer research stipend to approximately 10 percent of accepted first-year students (and $4,000 during the sophomore or junior year), empowering selected scholars to explore an academic area of their choice. Benefits to this program include a special housing option during the first year, priority course registration as an entering first-year student, and the invitation to take part in additional seminars throughout the academic year. Additionally, both Virginia residents and out-of-state U.S. citizens or permanent residents typically have 100 percent of their demonstrated financial need met through our need-based aid programs. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
