The Honors College seeks to instill life-long learning, curiosity, and critical thinking in motivated students across all disciplines. The Early Identification Program (EIP) is designed to close the access gap in higher education by providing resources and readiness support to prospective first-generation college students. By working together, we encourage success by offering holistic support for students' academic and personal achievement.
During the pandemic shutdown, EIP, just like all programming at Mason, was forced to pivot to online platforms.
Kristen Alleyne and Elene Lipartiani, incoming freshmen at George Mason University, have been honored with I-Achieve scholarships for academic excellence. The awards are being given for the first time this year, as part of a grant Mason received from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation last fall.
The STEM Fusion program is part of Mason’s Early Identification Program (EIP), an extensive outreach effort to more than 650 first-generation college-bound students in the Northern Virginia area.
