The Graduate Inclusion & Access Scholarship seeks to support the growth and development of an inclusive graduate community at George Mason University. At Mason we believe “diversity is our strength.” An inclusive graduate student community is essential to enhance the quality of the intellectual environment for all of our students and faculty. This scholarship, awarded on a competitive basis, is available to doctoral students from disadvantaged and/or underrepresented groups in their respective fields of graduate study.

Dr. Kelly Schrum and her research team have received an award from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) to create World History Commons in partnership with the World History Association.

HEP affiliate Dr. Hironao Okahana and HEP Doctoral Candidate Carrie Klein recently published an article in Innovative Higher Education, STEM Doctoral Completion of Underrepresented Minority Students: Challenges and Opportunities for Improving Participation in the Doctoral Workforce.

This year, HEP student Heather Aleknavage will serve as the District 29 Area 22 Director of Toastmasters International. In her role as director, she directly links clubs and members to the district.
