Campaign to Honor The Mertens

mertens With their tenure as Mason’s first family coming to a close, a major fund-raising campaign is under way to raise $5 million for scholarships and other university priorities in honor of President Alan Merten and Sally Merten.

The effort will raise $4 million for university priorities, including unrestricted scholarship support. The remaining $1 million will endow a special scholarship fund that will be known as the Merten Scholars. This annual scholarship will provide recipients a four-year, full-ride award as part of the University Scholars program. University Scholars currently receive a scholarship that covers tuition only. When you make a gift to the Merten Scholars fund by April 1, your name will appear in A Legacy of Leadership, a commemorative volume honor Alan and Sally Merten.
