Financial aid
Supporting MIT’s stellar students is a little bit like going into venture capital (but maybe better). Our students arrive with amazing talent and drive, and an extraordinary commitment to learning. And when they leave, there’s no limit to what they can accomplish. So even a modest investment in a scholarship can yield immeasurable rewards over the long term.
Our undergraduate financial aid packages must be strengthened if we are to continue to bring the best students to the MIT campus. We must also protect our need-blind admissions policy, to ensure that our community can reap the benefits of variety. Almost nowhere in the world is a broad range of perspectives more important than it is here.
Current Campaign for Students financial aid priorities are to —
- Maintain MIT's commitment to need-blind admissions and need-based aid;
- increase endowed scholarships to the point where the undergraduate aid program becomes self-sustaining; and
- reduce from $5,250 the contribution students are required to make each year through loans and term-time earnings.
To help MIT continue to attract the world’s brightest undergraduate students, consider directing your gift to one of our existing scholarship funds.
