The university also has separate scholarships set aside specifically for military affiliated personnel.

Additionally, some faculty and staff members have been trained to provide specialized support to members of the military, veterans, and their families attending classes at Mason. Few schools have a dedicated staff to help transition from a military environment to college life and we are proud to be able to assist our students in any way.
