Campaign for Mason Students—Thank You!
With strong support from the community, the Campaign for Mason Students raised more than $12 million.
The Campaign's true triumph comes from the students who are thriving at Mason because of private support.
Reaching Goals, Achieving Dreams
When the Campaign for Mason Students began in 2004, the goal was to raise at least $8 million in endowment and current use funds to:
- increase the number of merit- and need-based scholarships;
- create additional opportunities for student–faculty collaborative research;
- enhance University Libraries’ collections;
- strengthen the Honors and study abroad programs; and
- expand outreach services.
Campaign funds helped Mason to:
- increase its endowment by $7 million;
- raise nearly $500,000 for university libraries and more than $300,000 for university life programs; and
- establish new endowed scholarships in all the university's schools and colleges.
Mason Foundation trustee Jimmy Hazel, JD '84, and university Provost Peter Stearns served as co-chairs of the campaign committee.
