Benefits

Your dependent child will be eligible for a tuition grant under the Children's College Scholarship Plan if you are an MIT employee with a paid appointment for at least three months, and work at least 50% of the full-time work schedule in your department, laboratory, or center. 

Requirements

To qualify, your child must be your tax dependent and attend an accredited school full time. Your dependent child is generally eligible to take advantage of the Children's College Scholarship Plan if you:

• Work at least 50% of the normal full-time work schedule in your department, laboratory, or center
• Have a paid MIT appointment for at least three months
• Retirees from MIT are eligible for this benefit under the same rules they enjoyed as active employees.

If you voluntarily terminate from MIT and later return, the amount of the grant available to your child will be based on your most recent date of hire, not your original date of hire. See the eligibility chart below for details.

Application Deadline

How To Apply

• The Children's College Scholarship Plan covers full tuition for four years of undergraduate study at MIT and, in some cases, accredited universities outside of MIT, as long as your dependent child is a tax dependent and is a full-time undergraduate student.
• Grants are only made for the cost of tuition and may not be used to pay required fees, duplicate other financial aid, or to pay room and board or other educational expenses.
• You may apply for a grant for the first semester following your hire date.
• The benefit is prorated for employees working less than 100% but at least 50% time.
• If both parents are employed by MIT, only one will be eligible for Children's College Scholarship Plan benefits. If one parent is eligible for a greater benefit under the plan, the amount of the grant will be equal to that higher level of benefit.
