JMU Dingledine Bluestone Scholarship

Has anyone had some experience with the Dingledine Bluestone Scholarship at James Madison University? I haven’t been able to find too much information about it, and I was wondering what they are looking for specifically in applicants and if anyone has ever been interviewed or gotten the scholarship. Thanks a ton!

My daughter applied in Fall 2019. She did not get an interview so I can’t tell you what they are looking for but here are her stats for comparison purposes. SAT 1420, UW GPA 3.9, W GPA 4.1, Five AP classes with 4 and 5 scores on the AP tests, her extracurriculars are average and about 200 hours of community service.

She did not get any merit aid from JMU either.
I hope that helps!

That’s crazy! Did she get any merit aid from other schools?

She was offered $3000 from VCU but nothing from JMU or William and Mary. She was waitlisted at UVA.
