<p>thank you for your input guys. does anyone know how generous JMU is with merit based aid? that will be a big factor in my decision</p>

5

<p>Do not count on any merit based aid from JMU. It is a state school, my son goes there and knows of very few students receiving any merit aid.</p>

<p>JMUs largest awards are application based…</p>
