MIT Student Financial Services Loans

MITGO for undergraduates

Interested in MIT but not sure you can afford it? You should know that MIT has need-blind admissions (we don't look at your finances when considering you for admission). Once you're admitted, MIT also guarantees that we will meet your full financial need for all four years of your undergraduate career.

Bingo is a game of chance, but affording your MIT education is only a matter of your need, not luck. Check out some of these "MITGO" figures for undergraduates.
