Tackling Virginia's Challenges
George Mason University has long been adept at transforming scarce resources into measurable results, and that grit and perseverance are now being rewarded. Thanks to the efforts of two Virginia representatives and two U.S. Senators, Mason now has funding for five separate projects that address some of the state’s most urgent challenges.

Building a Legacy to Share
At Mason, we believe that while talent and passion are distributed equally, opportunity is not. In fiscal year 2022, the George Mason University Foundation was able to offer 1,300 scholarships to students, all made possible by gifts from alumni and friends of Mason.
On Sept. 3, 2010, more than 1,200 George Mason University students showed up to break the Guinness World Record for the world's largest dodgeball game.
