Turn a Dream into Reality
Mason’s School of Dance is rapidly emerging as one of the premier modern dance programs nationwide. Students studying dance at Mason experience a distinctive combination of conservatory-style training and the challenge of studying at an esteemed public research university.
Highly talented students are taught by high-caliber faculty and have access to today’s most distinguished choreographers and dancers through master classes and visiting artists programs.
To advance this vital and life-changing work, the School of Dance seeks to deepen its investment in places, programs, and people.
Here are a few ways your investment can make a difference:
- Provide support for the facilities our dancers need to succeed. Specifically, a Dance Performance Lab is needed.
- Give toward ongoing program and performance support, ensuring that our dancers have the resources on stage and off to develop their artistry.
- Endow a faculty chair or fellowship, ensuring that top-notch faculty and visiting artists are working with our students.
- Fund a scholarship so that a talented student has every opportunity to attend George Mason University.

"At the start of my freshman year, my parents and I made a 19-hour road trip before move-in day. Mason had been my dream school from the moment I toured. I knew my experiences at this school would give me the necessary tools to really prepare me for a career in dance. Being from out of state, I never thought attending Mason would be possible for my family financially. I was so worried that finances would prevent me from receiving an education in dance at the best school possible for me. Receiving a scholarship from the School of Dance truly made my dream a reality. Without the scholarship, I would not have been able to attend Mason and would have been given all the incredible experiences I have been fortunate to receive here so far."
