MIT Scholarship

Our scholarships are awarded based solely on financial need and come from our endowment, gifts from MIT alumni and friends, and MIT general funds. 58% of our undergraduates receive MIT Scholarships that average $45,542 per student.

All students who apply for financial aid and fill out the CSS Profile⁠ are automatically considered for an MIT Scholarship.

If you are awarded an MIT Scholarship, we will ask you to fill out an annual Student Information Review Form so that we can match you with the right scholarship from the right donor. Our scholarship donors often take an interest in learning about the recipients, so we may also ask you to write to your donor and thank them for their support.
