Financial Aid for International Students </p>
<p>International students are eligible for financial aid. As with US citizens and permanent residents, we consider every student for admission without regard to his or her financial need. In other words, applying for financial aid will not hurt your chances of admission. We admit the students best matched for MIT, regardless of their financial situation.</p>
<p>What’s more, MIT is committed to providing all admitted students, including international students, with a financial aid package that fully meets their demonstrated need. Greater than 80% of MIT international students receive financial aid in the form of grant/scholarship (the average grant for international students is over $30,000 per year), totaling more than $8 million annually disbursed to international students.

<p>MIT provides a stimulating academic and social environment that few colleges can match. If a student is a good fit for the university, I would encourage them to apply regardless of their financial situation.</p>
