Welcome Future Mason Graduates!
Graduation should be a time of excitement and possibility, not a time to feel burdened by another expense.
To offer some financial relief, Mason has created the Gowns for Grads Program to make regalia available for our students who are unable to purchase regalia on their own. If you are a first-generation student, low-income, Pell Grant recipient, Stay Mason recipient, or cannot afford regalia right now due to financial difficulties, then this program is for you!
Graduation should be a time to reflect and celebrate this amazing accomplishment!
Applications are now closed.
Gown pick up directions will be emailed to you once you have been asked and have confirmed that you will borrow regalia for Mason’s Spring 2025 commencement.
