There are education tax credit opportunities available to qualified students. Students may be able to claim a Lifetime Learning Tax credit of up to $2,000 for qualified tuition and related expenses paid for George Mason University courses.

Under the Lifetime Learning Credit eligible students may claim "a lifetime learning credit of up to $2,000 for qualified education expenses paid for all students enrolled in eligible educational institutions. There is no limit on the number of years the lifetime learning credit can be claimed for each student." (http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p970.pdf).
