Loans

Your acceptance to MIT Sloan is based on a needs-blind admission process. This means that when you are accepted, MIT Student Financial Services will work with you to determine your needs and help you with a financial aid package. Please visit the MIT Student Financial Services Web page for a list of loans available to MIT Sloan students.

Once you are admitted to the MIT Sloan MBA Program, you will receive a Graduate Loan Application and additional information. If you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, we recommend that you file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) even before you are accepted into our program. The FAFSA form is available at www.fafsa.ed.gov. MIT's FAFSA Title IV school code is 002178.
