Early Identification Program

Inspiring Excellence Through Education EIP work closely with public school division partners in the nomination, selection, and support of students each year.

Established in 1987, Early Identification Program (EIP) serves as the college preparatory program of George Mason University. With over 1,000 students who have graduated from the program, EIP provides access to educational resources for middle and high school students who will be the first in their families to attend a college or university. 600 students are currently enrolled in EIP due to our strategic partnership with seven local public school systems in Northern Virginia.
