Master's Financial Assistance

Financial Assistance Opportunities for Master's Students
George Mason University and the School of Public Policy are committed to assisting students by providing opportunities for financial support. Assistance for master's students includes the following:

Merit-Based Scholarships
The School of Public Policy offers assistance through merit-based scholarships.  Awards will be made based on academic credentials. Please note that all students seeking funding consideration from the School of Public Policy for these scholarships are required to submit Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores, but no separate financial application is necessary.

Federal Aid
To apply for need-based federal assistance, students are required to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. To receive priority consideration for these funds, FAFSA forms should be received by the federal processor on or before March 1. Students seeking federal financial aid alone are not required to submit GRE scores for review. For other questions regarding need-based federal assistance, please visit the Office of Student Financial Aid.
