MIT Scholarship

The MIT Scholarship program provides comprehensive financial support for undergraduate and postgraduate students pursuing education at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. As one of the world’s leading institutions for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, MIT offers various scholarship opportunities designed to make education accessible to talented students regardless of their financial background. These scholarships cover tuition, fees, and living expenses through need-based financial aid packages that meet 100% of demonstrated financial need. MIT’s commitment to affordability ensures that admitted students can attend regardless of their economic circumstances through a combination of scholarships, grants, work-study programs, and loans. The institution awards scholarships based on financial need rather than academic merit, with the average scholarship amount for undergraduate students exceeding $50,000 annually. International students are eligible for the same need-based financial aid as domestic students, making MIT one of the few U.S. universities with this inclusive policy. Prospective students must complete the CSS Profile and FAFSA (for U.S. citizens) or the International Student Financial Aid Application to be considered for MIT scholarships. The financial aid office works closely with families to create personalized packages that may include MIT scholarships, federal and state grants, and external funding sources. MIT’s generous financial aid program has enabled thousands of students from diverse backgrounds to pursue their academic ambitions at one of the world’s premier research universities.
