CEHD Announces 2014-15 Student Scholarships

March 30, 2015

A highlight of the year is when scholarship donors and scholarship recipients get the chance to meet in person at George Mason University's annual Scholarship Donor Recognition Dinner. 

The College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) was pleased to participate in the celebratory event last week.

Scholarship recipients from the college include undergraduate and graduate students from the Graduate School of Education and the School of Recreation, Health, and Tourism, as well as students enrolled in the Mason LIFE program.
