The deadline to submit your financial aid application was February 15th. So, what should you do if you missed this deadline?

It is not too late to begin applying for aid! We read financial aid applications in the order they are complete, continuing to review freshmen applications well past the recommended submission date of February 15th. So the earlier you get your application in to us, the more likely you will have your financial aid award with your admissions packet or by the time you need to make an enrollment decision (May 1). So if you don’t have your application completed, please don’t panic. What you should do is follow up over the next few weeks, submit your materials, and check the Financial Aid Tracking system in MyMIT.

Speaking of the tracking system, it is now live on MyMIT! Just log in to check whether or not we have received your financial aid application materials. There are also handy links to the financial aid document sites. Keep in mind that it takes about a week for MIT to receive your FAFSA or CSS PROFILE after you complete it online.

We do understand some applicants may not have their 2010 Income Tax Returns or wage statements completed by now. If this is your family’s situation, simply submit your prior year income tax returns/wage statements, W-2 forms, and all schedules directly to us:

Student Financial Services
MIT Room 11-320
77 Massachusetts Ave
Cambridge, MA 02139
617-253-9859 (fax)
finaid@mit.edu

All prospective International students can send their Parents' 2010 Income Tax Returns or most recent wage statement (translated into English) directly to Student Financial Services.

U.S./Canadian citizens and U.S. Permanent Residents will still be required to submit the 2010 Tax Returns to IDOC when they are available.

If you have further questions please contact the Financial Aid Office.
