Yes! All accepted MAS students (international and domestic) are offered full funding.  MAS students receive a monthly stipend and have their tuition/insurance covered.

The ELP test requirement can be waived by the department under certain circumstances: 

1. Your primary language is English

Primary language is defined as your first language learned and spoken in your family home.

2. Within the last 5 years, you attended an English-speaking university for 3-4 years and attained an undergraduate (or equivalent) degree from that university in one of the following countries:

Australia

Canada

Ireland

New Zealand

United Kingdom

United States

If you meet either of the above requirements for an ELP test waiver you will automatically receive one after entering your information into the online application. You will not need to complete the test scores section.

If you are registered for an exam before the admissions deadline, this will not be a problem.  Make sure you use the electronic code for MIT Graduate Admissions, your test results will be routed directly to your application as soon as they arrive.

As soon as a student  accepts admission, MAS will reach out to them about working with the MIT International Students Office.  For more information on visas and International Student life at MIT, please check out the ISO page. ISO will not be able to answer questions about individual situations until a student is accepted into the program.
