MIT
Cambridge, MA, United States
One of the world's leading science and engineering universities — and one of the few fully need-blind for international students.
What it costs
Sticker price above $80k/year — but MIT meets 100% of demonstrated need; many aided students pay little or nothing.
What they fund
Need-blind admissions for internationals: your finances don't affect your chances, and full need is met.
What they look for
SAT/ACT required. They look for evidence you build and solve things — competitions, projects, initiative — not just grades.
For students from Ethiopia
EUEE excellence + SAT + English test (TOEFL/IELTS/Duolingo). Application fee waivers available on request. A handful of Ethiopian students earn places most years — it is real, and it is fully funded.
Details change yearly — always verify on the official site.
