School of Media Arts and Design Alumni/Professional Advisory Council Scholarship Endowment

An endowed scholarship established with a generous gift from Dean Leipsner (’87) to the James Madison University Foundation for the benefit of James Madison University under an agreement signed May 5, 2010. Mr. Leipsner revised the criteria for this scholarship with a signed amendment dated May 17, 2012.

The purpose of this gift is to create the School of Media Arts and Design Alumni/Professional Advisory Council Scholarship Endowment. Scholarships will be awarded to students in a manner determined at the discretion of the director of the School of Media Arts & Design in consultation with the Alumni/Professional Advisory Council.

The endowment will provide funds for scholarships for one or more students in the School of Media Arts & Design annually. Financial need is not intended to be a firm requirement for the award, but may be a factor taken into consideration at the discretion of the selection committee. Beyond the above criteria, the appointment of a student to receive these scholarships shall follow the University’s guidelines for the awarding of scholarships.
