The MSRED tuition is a premium tuition, which means it is approximately 10% higher than the standard cost for other MIT graduate programs. The MSRED program offers a limited number of fellow and fellowship programs annually. These awards are given at the discretion of the funder and may not be offered every year.

The MSRED program generally awards 2-3 Fellows annually. Fellow programs are financial awards comprised of both tuition assistance and a stipend, which require 5-10 hours of work per week in a research or liaison capacity. Fellowships are tuition assistance only.

Information about CRE fellow programs is made available to students as it is received by our program. For more information, please see CRE’s Tuition and Fellowships page.

For Young Leader applicants, two of the three required letters of recommendation may be from an academic reference. The third should be from a professional reference.

The MSRED Young Leaders designation is reserved for exceptional candidates with less than the required work experience. Approximately 10% of an admitted class may be designated as Young Leaders.
