Welcome
We recognize paying for a high-quality education is a primary concern for students and their families. We also know that an IIT education is an investment that will pay out a lifetime of rewards.
That's why financial aid is such an important part of what we do at IIT. We work hard to bring the cost of an IIT education within reach of anyone with the talent and desire to be here. More than 97 percent of IIT students receive some form of financial assistance — from scholarships, loans, work-study, or a combination of these resources.
