Fredric I. McGhee Scholarship Endowment for Aspiring Entrepreneurs in support of the Honors College at James Madison University

An endowed scholarship established by Susan J. McGhee (’80) in support of the Honors College at James Madison University. This scholarship will fall within the guidelines of the Hillcrest Scholarships and provide opportunities for honors students to engage in transformational off-campus experiences such as, but not limited to, a business startup, research, analysis of a new product or conceptual idea, an internship, undertake an individual project related to the Senior Honors Project, or participate in another independent project. A McGhee scholar will be selected on the basis of the quality of their proposed experience, their academic achievement and intellectual promise, and the potential for a meaningful transformational impact on their lives. To be named a McGhee scholar, a student must be an outstanding second year honors student in good academic standing. The appointment of McGhee scholars will be made in a manner determined by the Dean of the Honor’s College. In the event the Hillcrest Scholarships do not take place, or a qualifying candidate is not identified in a given year, the scholarship may benefit an outstanding undergraduate student scholar in Honors who wishes to study abroad.

Applications are submitted through the Hillcrest Scholarship Fund process.
