The MIT Supply Chain Excellence Award fellowships are given annually at select partner universities to the most outstanding graduating senior supply chain and/or industrial engineering majors.
The awards entitle winners to a tuition fellowship of $30,000 towards the MIT Supply Chain Management (SCM) Master’s Degree Program. Honorable Mentions (if awarded) receive a $15,000 tuition fellowship. Awards may also be used toward tuition at global MIT-SCALE centers offering a master’s degree program.

Deadline for submission of Supply Chain Excellence Awards applications. Selection of the winner(s) is made jointly by the MIT SCM department and faculty at each partner university.
Announcement of the winners and presentation of the awards will be made in April.
To redeem their fellowships, winning students must apply and be accepted into the MIT SCM program.
