- Financial Aids:
-
ESD assists its current and admitted students in obtaining financial assistance, but ultimately, the graduate student is responsible for finding and maintaining the financial support they need to sustain their MIT education. Most ESD graduate students are able to support their MIT education by working as graduate assistants throughout MIT. These jobs pay for tuition and a living stipend.
Students are encouraged to secure funding from external sources. The deadlines for many fellowships are much earlier than the typical deadline for university applications. The Office of the Dean for Graduate Education (ODGE) maintains an extensive list of fellowships and grants. Student Financial Services is another resource for answering financial questions.
