Reasons You May Not Receive Funding

In some cases, students will not receive funds if it is determined that:

The needs are not critical
They can utilize other resources to fulfill the need

In such instances, students will be referred to and connected with alternate resources. Some expenses cannot be covered by this fund, including tuition, on-campus housing, and other costs that may be covered by financial aid.

Emergency Support for Graduate Students

Graduate students should use the Graduate Student Short-Term Emergency Fund. Graduate students with families who need additional support should contact Adj Marshall in the Office of Graduate Education at writeadj@mit.edu.
