Our goal is to make your SCM degree financially possible.
Loans, grants, and fellowships—partial and full—are available. Most of our students receive some fellowship funding to offset their tuition costs. And all students are automatically considered. Whatever your situation, our financial aid team is here to help. Contact us, and we’ll work together to find the best options for financing your degree.
SCM Awards and Fellowships
The MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics (CTL) provides a number of partial fellowships 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. 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).
MIT Student Financial Services
Financial Aid Loans
Many domestic students depend on federal student loans. International students often seek 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.
