Many Mason students receive some kind of financial aid, such as grants, scholarships, work-study employment, or loans.
To assist you with the financial aid process, Mason’s Office of Student Financial Aid has a team of dedicated professionals available to help you and your family. The Financial Aid staff will work with you annually as you re-apply for financial assistance each year you attend Mason.
If you’re interested in applying for financial aid, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and submit it to the federal processor by February 1, or March 1 for transfer students. For more information, please visit How to Apply for Financial Aid.
