Undergraduate Transition Fund
Transition Funds are available to students taking leave from MIT for expenses related to their departure and time away. Students are eligible to utilize the fund once during their time at MIT, for up to two years from the date of their leave.
Examples of expenses that may be eligible for Transition Fund support:
- Food and housing expenses, such as the initial deposit for an apartment
- Travel costs related to taking leave from the Institute
- Initial enrollment costs in classes taken at other institutions, such as registration fees
- Co-payments for necessary mental health or medical appointments
- Cost of travel to medical appointments
Students who wish to submit a Transition Fund request should make an appointment with their S3 dean to discuss their necessary expenses and financial need. If you are requesting funds for an expense you already paid, you will need to provide an itemized receipt – credit card or bank account statements will not be accepted. Please note that payments are subject to federal regulations and will be treated as taxable income. For more information on taxes, please visit SFS’s Tax Resource page.
