George Mason University is disbursing millions of dollars in CARES Act funding to more than 14,000 eligible students this fall, with the latest funds to be awarded in early September.

Mandatory vaccinations and a return to wearing masks indoors on campus are two of the primary tools George Mason University will use this fall to provide a safe living, learning and working environment.
