SCM Awards & Fellowships
The MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics (CTL) provides a number of partial fellowship opportunities specifically for SCM students.
Except where noted, the awards listed below require no separate application forms or submissions. All applicants who indicate interest in fellowship and grant opportunities by checking the “Fellowship” box provided on the Financial Statement Form within the MIT Graduate Application will be considered for these awards. As noted below, some awards are available only to SCMb or SCMr applicants. All awards are made by the admissions committee based on application materials, interviews, and references. Notification of awards are made either at the time of admission or shortly thereafter, unless otherwise specified.
The SCM program requires full-time enrollment for all master’s students, as such we do not provide opportunities for work during the program and do not provide financial support for positions such as Research Assistant (RA) and Teaching Assistant (TA).
Competitive Fellowship Nominations
Most SCM students receive some fellowship funding to offset tuition costs. In addition to the SCM Awards & Fellowships described above, students are eligible to be considered for highly competitive awards and endowed fellowships available to the larger MIT community. Students are automatically considered for these awards and nomination forms are provided to admitted students in early admission rounds. In recent years, SCM students have been recipients of various awards including:
- Endowed Fellowships of the Arab Republic of Egypt
- Luis Francisco Verges Fellowship
- Louis B. Seigle Fellowship
- MIT Presidential Fellowship
Learn more about MIT grant and fellowship opportunities from the Office of Graduate Education or the School of Engineering. Prospective students must apply in early admission rounds to be considered for these awards.
Financial Aid
Many domestic students depend on federal student loans, and international students seek student loans from private lenders. The MIT Student Financial Services Office is the best resource for information on these forms of financial assistance.
MIT Student Financial Services also administers educational benefits available to veterans of the United States military.
