Early Identification Program

On May 21st we proudly celebrated the EIP Class of 2026 — 151 remarkable students who earned every moment of this achievement.

The evening honored not only our , but also the families, educators, mentors, county partners, supporters, and EIP staff who helped guide them along the way. From seventh-grade applications to college acceptance letters, this journey reflected years of perseverance, community, and belief in student potential.

As graduates prepare to take their next steps — whether at George Mason University or institutions across the country — they joined a network of more than 2,600 EIP alumni making an impact as leaders, educators, engineers, entrepreneurs, and changemakers.

Congratulations to the EIP Class of 2026. 🎓💚💛
