Currently, MITx Online does not have the capability to provide direct financial aid or scholarships for courses available on the platform. However, there are certain courses hosted on MITx Online that offer their own financial assistance options. These opportunities are primarily available for courses that are part of the MITx MicroMasters Program in Data, Economy, and Design of Policy (DEDP). If a course offers financial assistance, this information will be clearly indicated in the "Price" box on the respective course's MITx Online Course Page.
For a visual reference, please see examples below:
It's important to note that all MITx Online courses offer a free Audit enrollment track. As an audit learner, you have the option to enroll for free and gain access to most course materials, including lectures, assignments, and some quizzes. However, please be aware that audit learners do not earn a course certificate. Depending on the course, there may be limitations on access to certain features such as graded assignments or exams. Nonetheless, audit learners can actively participate in course discussion forums and engage with the learning community.
While direct financial aid may not be available for most courses on MITx Online, we strive to provide accessible and flexible learning opportunities through the Audit track. We continuously explore avenues for expanding financial assistance options in the future.
