Graduate fellowships: Impact
Whether collaborating with faculty on research, or teaching and mentoring undergraduates, graduate students are crucial to the strength and integrity of the Institute. The advances they make in their fields while at MIT greatly enhance its reputation as a leader in education and scientific research.
But we face tough trends: graduate education has never been harder to pay for or easier to forego.
Private support for graduate fellowships ensures that discovery and exploration continue in all fields, regardless of how fashionable a particular topic is in the short term. It guarantees that MIT will continue to attract the top minds as graduate students, and also the faculty who want to work with those students.
Read more about why the need for graduate fellowships is growing, and about how you can help MIT continue to attract the world’s brightest graduate students through increased fellowship support.
Current Campaign for Students priorities for graduate fellowships are to —
- Attract the best and most creative graduate students to MIT;
- support grad students whose work falls outside traditional RA funding;
- attract and retain faculty by supporting talented graduate researchers; and
- enable first-year graduate students to explore research options.
