▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

What: In the summer of 1996, just before the start of the new semester, JMU student Matthew Lee Montgomery “Danville” was the victim of a fatal car accident. “Danville” was about to start his junior year at JMU and had the distinction of being the Executive Treasurer-elect for the Student Government Association. When students returned to school and heard about the loss, the SGA was so moved that they created a scholarship in his name. APPLY TODAY!

Who: Anyone of sophomore standing or higher (meaning you must presently be a sophomore or have the appropriate credits) and seniors continuing on to graduate school AT JMU may apply!

How: Fill out the application and turn it in by Monday April 27th by 5pm to Taylor 203 (SGA Office) in the VPSA's mailbox or danvillescholarship@gmail.com

Why: To get a chance at winning a $1,500 scholarship for school!

Reminder: SGA members are not eligible.

  • A checklist for executive council members to keep you posted on what they have completed on their platforms.
  • Posting concerns that were collected during Write Out Wednesdays and keeping you informed on what we were able to accomplish and what road bumps we have come across
  • Virtually anything that SGA is up to will be posted, so please stay tuned!

Stay informed and get in contact with your SGA:
