Scholarship Overview
Based on the “pay-it-forward” concept, the “Mark-It-Forward” scholarship was established through generous donations from members of the Department of Marketing Executive Advisory Board (EAB). The “pay-it-forward” feature lies in that marketing students who benefit from this EAB-sponsored scholarship are expected to support the Department of Marketing in some form after they graduate from JMU. This $1,000 scholarship provides not only financial support but offers unique mentorship opportunities with the EAB membership.
