Laureates and Leaders

The Laureates and Leaders Program prepares cohorts of undergraduate students for graduate study. Students are identified as early as freshman year by their interest in advanced studies and a strong MIT academic record. In the ensuing undergraduate years, The Laureates and Leaders Program provides mentoring, informational workshops, and financial assistance for research, technical presentations and exam fees that ensure each student's preparation to pursue a graduate degree.

Laureates and Leaders' responsibilities include:

• Raising and maintaining a competitive GPA
• Remaining in the program until graduation
• Performing and presenting research
• Attending monthly workshops
• Meeting with your faculty mentor and Laureates and Leaders staff
• Applying to graduate school (including at least one MIT department of your choice)

To apply for the Laureates and Leaders Program, you must be an enrolled MIT undergraduate freshman or sophomore student.
