The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Investment Management Company (MITIMCo) declared today that MIT’s consolidated pool of endowment and other MIT resources yielded an investment return of 14.8 percent for the fiscal year concluding June 30, 2025, as evaluated using valuations obtained within one month of fiscal year end. At the conclusion of the fiscal year, MIT’s endowment assets amounted to $27.4 billion, excluding commitments. Over the ten years concluding June 30, 2025, MIT achieved an annualized return of 10.7 percent.

The endowment serves as the foundation of MIT’s finances, made feasible by contributions from alumni and supporters for over a century. The utilization of the endowment is regulated by a state law that necessitates MIT to maintain each endowed gift as a permanent fund, safeguard its purchasing power, and allocate it as specified by its initial donor. The majority of the endowment’s resources are restricted and must be utilized for a designated purpose. MIT employs most of the income generated by these endowed gifts to support financial aid, research, and education.

The endowment funds 50 percent of undergraduate tuition, assisting in enabling the Institute’s need-blind undergraduate admissions policy, which guarantees that an MIT education is accessible to all qualified applicants regardless of their financial means. MIT collaborates closely with all families of undergraduates who qualify for financial assistance to formulate an individualized affordability plan tailored to their financial situations. In 2024-25, the average need-based MIT undergraduate scholarship was $62,127. Fifty-seven percent of MIT undergraduates received need-based financial aid, and 39 percent of MIT undergraduate students obtained scholarship funding from MIT and other sources sufficient to cover the total tuition costs.

Starting in fiscal 2026, MIT enhanced undergraduate financial assistance, guaranteeing that all families with incomes below $200,000 and typical assets have their tuition fully covered by scholarships, and that families with incomes below $100,000 and typical assets pay nothing for their students’ MIT education. Eighty-eight percent of seniors who graduated in the academic year 2025 completed their studies with no debt.

MITIMCo is a division of MIT, established to manage and supervise the investment of the Institute’s endowment, retirement, and operating funds.

MIT’s Report of the Treasurer for fiscal year 2025, which outlines the Institute’s yearly financial performance, was made publicly accessible today.
