FAQs

What happens if I cannot work to pay my term-time contribution?

We are still working out how we will accommodate students who are not able to work to meet their student contributions. We will update this page when we have a policy in place.

You may also contact your financial aid counselor to talk through your individual circumstance.

Will I receive a refund for housing and dining for the rest of the semester?

We are still in discussions about what will happen with student charges. We will update this page as soon as we have a policy in place.

Will this have an effect on my federal aid (VA benefits, Pell Grants, student loans, etc.)?

The U.S. Department of Education has indicated that as long as students are enrolled and working toward their degree, Federal Pell Grants, Federal Work Study, SEOG, and Direct Stafford Loans should not be impacted.

MIT has been in contact with the Department of Veterans Affairs to inquire about the potential effects to those students receiving GI Bill benefits, and we expect to receive guidance soon. Please refer back to this page regarding any updates to GI Bill benefits.

What if I have general questions about financial aid or my bill?
