Unrestricted

Unrestricted funds are what enable MIT to be MIT, day in and day out. When conditions change or an urgent need emerges—whether for financial aid, the operating budget, student life, or world events—MIT’s Unrestricted Fund rises to meet it.

Student Life, Wellness, and Support Fund

The Student Life, Wellness, and Support Fund plays a critical role in supporting the out-of-the-classroom student experience and educating our students about living healthy and purposeful lives.

Scholarships

MIT is one of only six higher education institutions in the US that is both need blind and meets the full financial needs of its undergraduate students. Gifts to Undergraduate Scholarships ensure that an MIT education is accessible to bright, talented students, regardless of income.

Graduate Student Support Fund

Our graduate students are furthering cross-disciplinary academics, pursuing cutting-edge research, and developing game-changing innovations―but they cannot do it alone. Their success is dependent on a consistent stream of support from alumni and friends, like you.

The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) is MIT’s most popular experiential learning program, providing undergraduates with transformative experiences in research and invaluable faculty mentorship.

PKG Public Service Center
