Graduate student support
MIT continues to attract the top minds as graduate students, as well as the faculty who want to work with those students. Together, they drive discovery and exploration in all fields.
Whether teaching and mentoring undergraduates or collaborating with faculty on research, graduate students are crucial to the strength and the integrity of the Institute. The advances they make in their fields while here greatly enhance MIT’s reputation as a leader in education and research.
As government funding of research continues to shrink, and as competition among universities for the best students intensifies, MIT is taking aggressive action to ensure meaningful graduate student support, and to maintain the excellence of its programs. Two areas of focus are graduate fellowships—both their cost and their impact— and the quality of graduate student life.
