Brief description

The Jennifer Jamison Textbook Scholarship is named after Saint Martin’s University Contingent Professor Jennifer Jamison who built her academic career by primarily instructing at the Joint Base Lewis McChord Main and McChord Field campuses of Saint Martin’s University. Jennifer’s generosity helps qualifying and deserving undergraduate students pay for academic term textbooks. The scholarship is offered every academic term.

The scholarship is open to all eligible undergraduate Saint Martin's-JBLM campus students. All Servicemembers, their family members and veterans who qualify for this scholarship are encouraged to apply. The award is based on need and not on the number of nominations received for any one person. The scholarship can only be awarded once to the same person, and any student previously awarded this scholarship is ineligible to apply. Students who already receive textbook aid from financial aid, other scholarships, or veterans’ programs such as VOCREHAB are also ineligible to apply. 

Please submit completed forms to ARendon@stmartin.edu or YShipley@stmartin.edu
