Help a Fellow Patriot 

The Gowns for Grads Lending Program supports students who are unable to purchase their own regalia. Our current inventory does not match the needs of our students, and so so we are asking new alumni to donate regalia to give students the chance to walk across the stage and celebrate. 

Your Gift, Your Choice 

There are several ways in which you can make your commitment and ongoing support known. Gifts of any amount go a long way in supporting the Costello College of Business. Alumni can donate online, send a check, create a planned gift, build a partnership with corporate giving, set Mason with a matching gift and donate gifts of stock or real estate. Legacy gifts represent sustainability for key academic and research programs as well as scholarship funds to help attract and retain students. These gifts provide benefits to future generations of Mason students—and to you and your heirs.
