Fellowships
MIT Sloan is able to provide fellowship opportunities to first- and second-year students in the MBA program, thanks in part to the generous support of individual, corporate, and foundation donors.
The MIT Sloan Admissions Committee awards merit-based fellowships to exceptional students based on a variety of criteria, including, but not limited to:
- Academic excellence
- Professional achievements
- Potential to enhance the MIT Sloan community
Fellowships awarded upon admission
The fellowships listed below, many of which have been established through generous gifts to MIT Sloan from alumni and friends of the school, are available to admitted students. Students will be considered for these fellowship awards automatically, depending on their eligibility, and do not need to submit an additional application. Students are typically informed if they have received a fellowship upon notification of admittance to the school. This applies to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and international students

Fellowships will be awarded to outstanding MIT graduate students to further their studies in education, educational technology and innovation, educational policy and reform, and related areas.

The award recognizes MIT Sloan students with an outstanding record of academic achievement, demonstrated drive and personal impact, and distinctive leadership in professional, community, or campus activities.
The McKinsey Award is open to all incoming MBA students at the MIT Sloan School of Management regardless of professional experience and interest. All MIT Sloan graduate applicants are encouraged to apply. Each applicant must indicate interest in applying for the McKinsey Award by checking the McKinsey Award box on the MIT Sloan application.

MIT Public Service Fellows play a leading role in developing and implementing their service projects. Fellows must work in collaboration with a supervisor in a community organization that will benefit from their work in the long term, but Fellows typically take a consultant or partnership role with their supervisors, rather than working directly for them. MIT students who are developing their own non-profits or social enterprises may also apply for Fellowships to support them in this process.

Assistantships
Every year, MIT Sloan appoints a number of MBA students to teaching and research assistantships that vary in workload and compensation levels. While helping students cover their expenses, these competitive positions offer outstanding exposure to the school's educational and research programs. Responsibilities may include working one-on-one with students, assisting in research, and grading assignments and examinations. TA and RA positions are available each year to Master's-level students, as well as PhD students. MBA students are not able to pursue these opportunities until their second semester in the program.
Faculty members choose their own Research and Teaching Assistants, and may each have different application processes. Please contact Sloan Student Funding at studentfunding.mitsloan@mit.edu with any questions or concerns.
