Graduate Admissions FAQ’s - Funding & Student Support

What kind of funding is available to support students in the program?
Students are generally supported by a variety of fellowships and research assistantships during their time at MIT. These appointments pay tuition and a competitive stipend. Students are encouraged to seek outside fellowships to help finance their graduate studies. Many of our students are supported by NSF, DOD, Hertz, as well as other government and corporate sources.
