Dec. 2 is Giving Tuesday. You’re invited to support the James Madison College Experiential Learning Fund, which allows more Madison students to study abroad and complete internships by covering essential costs like tuition, travel and housing:
Every semester, Madison students leave Case Hall to test their knowledge in the field. Through JMC’s experiential learning requirement, our students help draft public policy, research human rights issues and work alongside nonprofit organizations tackling complex social challenges.
They travel abroad to learn about international relations in Belgium, explore culture and politics in Brazil and study European politics in France.
These opportunities are where theory meets practice and classroom discussions translate to real-world problem-solving.
On Giving Tuesday, Dec. 2, we’re asking you to support JMC’s Experiential Learning Fund. Scholarships awarded through this fund help students cover the costs — tuition, travel, housing — that can otherwise put these opportunities out of reach.
This year, we awarded 66 experiential learning scholarships to JMC students. In 2026, we want to do even more.
Your gift — whether $25 or $2,500 — directly supports a student who’s ready to take the next step in their education.
Thank you for investing in the next generation of public servants and leaders.
