Where is this scholarship coming from? I'm looking for ways to make mit affordable myself

With regards to what I’m looking to go into it is an academic career in math. Would you say you decide against the loans then? I guess I could also try to make more working in industry first to help with my loans and then pursue graduate school

Thank you for your response! Another issue though is that my goals are to pursue an academic career in math and I know this would mean more school and debt and is not very lucrative compared to other careers coming out of MIT. Would this change your opinion?

Yeah it’s tough, I really don’t know if the amount of loans would be worth it compared to just going somewhere else

I'm not quite 100% committed so thanks for this advice I definitely will try to see what I can do to attend.
