Admissions

Early Identification Program

The Early Identification Program is a four-year program for middle and high school students who are potentially the first in their families to enroll in college. During the summer, students attend the intensive three-week Summer Academy at Mason. During the year, students attend cultural and other events on and off the campus and participate in a weekly tutoring program. Parental involvement is strongly encouraged. Parents and students are required to attend a series of Strengthening the Family workshops after the students are accepted into the program. Students who successfully complete the program are guaranteed admission to Mason. The free program activities are held at the Fairfax and Prince William Campuses. Call 703-993-3120.
