If you know or work with a first-generation student, low-income, Pell Grant recipient, Stay Mason recipient, or a student who cannot afford regalia right now due to financial difficulties, then encourage them to apply for this program.

Purchase Your Tuition Insurance

Purchase Your Tuition Insurance Jaclyn Beasley Thu, 08/18/2022 - 14:49

Protect your Investment in Higher Education

What happens when your student’s education is disrupted by an unexpected injury or illness? Depending on the timing of the withdrawal, you may not be eligible to receive a refund of all of your tuition and fees.

The Tuition Protection Insurance Plan helps students and their families overcome the financial losses that may result from events which force students to withdraw from the semester due to a covered medical reason. Helping families get the most out of your George Mason experience is always our top priority. That’s why we’ve partnered with GradGuard™ to make the Tuition Insurance Plan available to our families.

This coverage strengthens and broadens the scope of our existing refund policy by ensuring reimbursement for tuition, housing and other payments if a student withdraws for any covered medical reason at any time during the semester.

The deadline to purchase for each term is the last day to drop.

Learn more at GradGuard.com/Tuition/GMU or call (877) 794-6603.

Elena's Scholarship for Student Well-Being

Jaclyn Beasley — Mon, 09 May 2022 17:41:24 +0000

Elena's Scholarship for Student Well-Being Jaclyn Beasley Mon, 05/09/2022 - 13:41

Elena Prien, a graduate of ��AV, endowed undergraduate student scholarships with the goal of enhancing students’ well-being. These scholarships will be awarded to students whose lives can benefit from resources to support their well-being in various domains (psychological, emotional, social, purpose, community, and physical, as a few examples). Elena’s Scholarships are open to full-time, undergraduate students from all academic majors. Priority will be given to applicants who are just beginning their intentional efforts to cultivate well-being. This is a program for personal well-being mentoring, plus a financial scholarship. Applicants should be willing and able to participate in one-on-one mentoring with a faculty or staff person who has expertise about well-being. Mentoring will take place about once every three weeks during Fall semester and then monthly during Spring semester. In addition, scholarship winners receive a financial award of $1,000 – with $500 credited to their account on the first day of class for Fall semester, and another $500 at the beginning of February for Spring semester (contingent upon successful participation in the mentoring for Fall semester).Individual mentoring is a key component to this program, and award winners will be assigned a skilled mentor from among the Mason faculty and staff who is committed to well-being. The well-being mentors will be available to meet with students in support of their learning and growth. The intention of the mentoring program is to guide scholarship recipients in their journey to reach higher levels of well-being in their lives – that is, greater meaning and purpose, resilience, vitality, and engagement.

The $1000 scholarship will be made available in each recipient’s Mason student account, in two parts as described above. The scholarship funds can be used for tuition, fees, and/or room and board at ��AV. Eligible students are full-time students who are sophomores, juniors or seniors for the entire academic year and have a minimum overall 2.0 GPA or higher when they apply. Applicants are encouraged to read more about well-being as they formulate their answers to the application questions. You can learn more about Elena Prien in this article.

The application period for the 2022-2023 academic year is now open and will close on May 20, 2022. Winners will be notified by July 1, 2022. Apply via Mason 360 by logging in first, and then accessing the application form through this link:
