Affording your education
Our goal is to help you understand your options and select the best ones for you and your family. We award need-based financial aid from MIT and coordinate the receipt of aid from other sources.
Billing and repayment
We understand that everyone’s situation is different. We work with you and provide counseling on available financing options. We also offer resources to help you improve your financial literacy and make good choices.
Customer service
We strive to provide accurate, friendly, and timely customer service to all of our students and their families. If you need to talk to someone—contact us and we’ll help you out.

Celebrated on September 17, Constitution Day honors the document that guarantees Americans their essential rights. Since its ratification in 1787, the Constitution of the United States has served as the basis for all U.S. laws, and at MIT we are proud to support the observance of Constitution Day.
