Application Fee Waiver
The Office of Graduate Education (OGE) at MIT is pleased to offer fee waivers for U.S. Citizens and U.S. Permanent Residents who demonstrate financial hardship, are current or former members of the U.S. Armed Forces, or who have participated in special fellowship programs, including MIT-sponsored diversity programs (e.g. MIT Summer Research Program, CONVERGE). The OGE Diversity Initiatives is also pleased to offer fee waivers to prospective students we have met during diversity recruitment events. International students, attending U.S. colleges and universities, who have participated in the MIT CONVERGE or MSRP programs are also eligible to apply for a fee waiver.
Eligible applicants should submit the fee waiver form.
A very limited number of fee waivers are available to students who are not eligible for these programs. Preference will be given to economically disadvantaged international applicants who have identified a potential advisor. Interested applicants may submit inquiries to mit-whoi-www@mit.edu.
The application fee is good for a single academic year only; applications reactivated in future academic years will require new fees.
