Generous donors have provided MIT with permanent funds in support of stipend awards for students who fall into unique categories. The Office of the Dean for Graduate Education administers these awards through an annual competition. All nominations must be submitted by the departmental graduate office on behalf of the student. Students who qualify for one of the awards should contact their graduate administrator in order to be considered for nomination.
The following symbols are used in the fellowship descriptions:
US citizens are eligible
Permanent residents are eligible
Internationals are eligible
ODGE awards: Deadline April 19, 2013, 5:00 p.m.
