We know that there are a lot of things that require your money during the school year. Below is the list of all of the possible costs several of us on the MIT Board were able to gather. Please note that the amounts listed below are from the previous school year and are for estimating ONLY. Costs change every school year, and sometimes multiple times in the same school year.
Please note MIT offers a scholarship every year that covers some of these items. More information about the MIT Scholarship, what it covers, and how to apply may be found here.
