Lebanese nationals who are admitted to MIT and who qualify for need-based MIT Scholarship. Students must apply directly to MIT for financial aid in order to be considered for this scholarship

All financial aid at MIT, including the Alexis and Anne-Marie Habib Foundation Scholarship Fund, is awarded on the basis of need, determined by subtracting the calculated family contribution from the budgeted cost of attendance each year. Scholarship aid varies for each student, depending upon individual circumstances. Students must reapply for financial aid each year, but MIT maintains a commitment to meet the full calculated need for each undergraduate student for all four years.

Admissions applications must be submitted directly to MIT online. Students should reference the Student Financial Services webpage for instructions on applying for financial aid: http://web.mit.edu/sfs. Specific information for prospective International Students applying for financial aid can be found at: http://web.mit.edu/sfs/financial_aid/prospective_freshmen_Intl.html.
