George Mason Memorial Society Endowed Scholarship History and Art History
The George Mason Memorial Society Endowed Scholarship was established in 1997 by the George Mason Memorial Society and funded by multiple donors. The endowment serves to perpetuate the ideals and contributions to American life of the university’s namesake, George Mason IV of Gunston Hall. The scholarship provides tuition assistance to worthy students who seek knowledge of our heritage in preparation for service as citizens in the future. One award will be made annually to an undergraduate history major whose work and interests reflect the legacy of George Mason and the nature of human rights in society, to supplement tuition costs for the recipient’s senior year.

Dominique Noble is a senior at George Mason University majoring in history with a concentration in public history. She is scheduled to graduate with her bachelor’s degree at the end of fall semester 2026. Dominique is a northern Virginia native and graduated from James Madison High School in Vienna, in 2022. Although she attended one semester of college out of state, she soon realized that her passion was history, so she returned to the area with the goal of attending GMU as a history major. She took classes at Northern Virginia Community College for a couple of semesters before transferring into GMU in the fall of 2024. When not doing schoolwork, Dominique loves to spend time with her friends and family. She enjoys music, pottery, and painting. She intends to further her education by pursuing a master’s degree within the field. Ultimately, Dominique hopes to use her history degree to either work in museums or archives.
