James Madison Scholars - Dorothy Thomasson Estes

An endowed scholarship established Martha E. Grover, VP of Great Costal Express, Inc. in honor of her mother, Dorothy T. Estes with funding from the Estes Foundation. The James Madison Scholars endowments are in honor of Dr. Carrier’s twentieth year at JMU to support a scholarship for recipients who have demonstrated academic potential as evidenced by grades and college entrance exam scores; who also have a genuine enthusiasm for life and learning and a demonstrated willingness to engage in creative, challenging activities outside the classroom. This scholarship is for attracting and retaining scholars in higher education. This scholarship may be awarded one time only or may follow the recipient thru their undergraduate years not to exceed a total of four years (five years for majors requiring a fifth year) provided the student is in good merit standing with the university.
