Financing Your Education
Tuition for the academic year 2024-2025 is detailed below. The standard Cost of Attendance is set by Student Financial Services and serves as the cap for all financial aid forms, including scholarships, fellowships, and student loans. Additional living costs may vary based on personal circumstances. For more information, please visit the SFS Graduate Cost of Attendance page.
Most of our graduate students make one tuition payment before each term (August 1 for fall and January 1 for spring). Students also can choose the MIT monthly payment plan, which allows them to pay tuition in 10 installments over the course of the year. Learn more about your payment options here.

Financing Your MBA
MIT Sloan matriculates the most promising MBA candidates regardless of financial circumstances. After acceptance, each incoming student begins the three-tiered financial aid process:
- Incoming students are automatically considered for fellowships and scholarships awarded by MIT Sloan and other MIT departments or related organizations. For incoming students, these awards are granted after a review process that is independent of your acceptance. Admitted applicants may be eligible for and considered for a variety of different fellowships that require separate applications.
- Students may also apply for additional sources of financial assistance administered by external foundations and organizations. The Office of Graduate Education offers resources to help find these organizations. Once admitted, you may also contact the Student Funding office at Sloan for a list of these external awards specific to business school students.
- Students establish eligibility for federal and private loans in collaboration with MIT Student Financial Services by submitting the Graduate Information Finance Form (all students) and the FAFSA (domestic students only). If you are interested in private loans, an application with the lender of your choice will also be required. Click here for additional info.
Please note, that the total Cost of Attendance is set by MIT Student Financial Services on an annual basis. This figure acts as a limit on the total amount of aid you are eligible to receive (including fellowships, Teaching Assistantships, scholarships, etc, as well as federal or private student loans). If you are planning on paying for your time at MIT with aid, including loans, the difference between the “total” and the “tuition and fees” is the amount you will have available to fund all other living expenses.
In partnership with MIT’s Student Financial Services, we will guide you through the financial aid and billing process. Most MBA students rely on loans to help them finance their graduate education. Please feel free to contact the Sloan Student Funding Office at Studentfunding.mitsloan@mit.edu with any questions or concerns.
Loans
Your acceptance to MIT Sloan is based on a needs-blind admissions process. Once you are admitted to the MIT Sloan MBA program, you will have access to detailed information about the financial aid process on our admitted student website. The process is slightly different depending on whether you are an international student, a U.S. citizen, or a permanent resident.

Students accepted to the dual-degree MBA/Leaders for Global Operations (LGO) program may receive generous fellowships funded by MIT industry partners. See the LGO website for more information.
