First-Year Academic Achievement Scholarship

Summary

The First-Year Academic Achievement Scholarship (formerly known as Freshmen Achievement Award) is given to students as recognition for completing their first semesters at Mason with outstanding academic performances. Students with a first-semester GPA of 3.7 or higher will receive the award.

Recipients of this award are invited to apply for a competitive scholarship - The First-Year Academic Achievement Scholarship. The most outstanding applicants will be awarded a First-Year Academic Achievement Scholarship. To apply for this scholarship, students eligible are required to attend a Celebration of the Achievement award ceremony. A scholarship application and instruction will be given only to those who attend the event. The First-Year Academic Achievement Scholarship rewards $500 - 1,000 to be used towards students' tuition for the following semester.

Eligible students will apply during their second semester at Mason.  Both first and second-semester GPAs will be considered during the scholarship review.  The scholarship will be awarded before the beginning of the student's third semester to the scholarship recipients.
