The Graduate Inclusion & Access Scholarship seeks to support the growth and development of an inclusive, thriving graduate community across all academic programs at George Mason University.
At Mason we believe “diversity is our strength.” An inclusive graduate student community is essential to enhance the quality of the intellectual environment for all our students and faculty.
This scholarship, awarded on a competitive basis, is available to domestic first-generation college students who are incoming fall semester full-time doctoral degree students, are from an underrepresented population within their doctoral field of study at Mason, and have demonstrated financial need. For more information, please see the Eligibility and Selection Criteria section.
The programs and services offered by George Mason University are open to all who seek them. George Mason does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, ethnic national origin (including shared ancestry and/or ethnic characteristics), sex, disability, military status (including veteran status), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, pregnancy status, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by law.
