Honors College Sponsorships

An Honors College sponsorship is worth more than the actual dollar value of your gift: it is an investment in the top professionals and civic leaders of tomorrow.

George Mason University’s Honors College powers the pipeline of diverse young professionals for nearly every industry. We attract, retain, challenge, and support over 2,100 highly motivated undergraduates of every background and interest, preparing these students to lead in the workforce and civic life of our region.

With this rigorous preparation, our graduates go on to work for the nation’s top employers, attend the most respected graduate schools, and receive the most prestigious fellowships.

Your sponsorship makes a difference

By sponsoring the Honors College, you give highly motivated students the opportunity to pursue excellence across all disciplines. Sponsorship of our program, awards, and partner projects gives you visibility among our students and enables us to:

  • Attract and retain the most talented and motivated students in the Greater DC region
  • Prepare students to address the complex challenges faced in today’s demanding roles.
  • Teach students the collaborative skills necessary to consider problems from multiple perspectives so they can develop creative, effective solutions to professional and civic problems.
