Elena’s Scholarships for Undergrads

Elena Prien, a graduate of George Mason University, endowed undergraduate student scholarships with the goal of enhancing students’ well-being. Applications for the 2019 Elena’s Student Scholarships for Well-Being are now available and can be found here.

Up to 6 undergraduate students will be selected and each will receive a $1000 scholarship (funds to be deposited in their Mason student accounts). Scholarship recipients also will have a well-being faculty/staff mentor who will assist them in designing and implementing a personal and individualized well-being plan in support of their learning and growth while at Mason. Ideal candidates are students who normally would not know about these resources and who could benefit from the mentoring and the scholarship. Past recipients have commented that the mentoring they received was most beneficial to their learning. Students must have a minimum overall 2.0 GPA and be enrolled full-time during the 2019-20 academic year. 

Apply by Wednesday, April 17, at 5:00 pm. More information is available here.
