If you wish to apply for scholarship, loan and job assistance from MIT, we must receive the following documents no later than April 15, 2010. Remember to keep copies of all your application documents. Also keep in mind that after you're awarded financial aid, there are additional steps you must take before your aid is disbursed. Those steps are outlined in finalizing undergraduate awards.

• Designate MIT as a recipient by using our CSS code of 3514.
• MIT receives your profile data electronically from CSS so you do not send copies or printouts of your application to MIT.
• Applicants living in the following countries, please contact MIT Financial Aid for further guidance: Cuba, Iran, Sudan Benin, Cameroon, Ghana, Nigeria and Togo.

Separated or divorced parents

If your parents are separated or divorced, you have an additional application requirement because we ask that both your parents provide financial information so we can determine individual contributions from each of them.

Both your parents must submit separate copies of the College Board International Student Financial Aid Application, separate parent income tax returns or wage statements and, if necessary, a CSS Business/Farm Supplement, as explained in the following sections.

 

Parents' income tax return or wage statement (translated to English)

• Send a signed copy of all pages and schedules of your parents' most recent income tax returns, if applicable.
• If your country does not have an annual income tax form, send a letter from each parent's employer stating the annual salary earned in local currency.
• Translate all materials into English, but report the amounts in your local currency.
• Write your name and "Class of 2014" at the top of all materials.



CSS Business/Farm Supplement

If either of your parents is self-employed or owns any part of a business or farm, s/he must complete a CSS Business/Farm Supplement for each business or farm in which any interest is held.

Additional information

If your family has special circumstances or unusual expenses, or you have any other information that will help us understand their financial situation more completely, please send us a letter detailing that information.
