MicroMasters Scholarships

We are excited to announce scholarship opportunities for learners in different regions of the world! Please review the scholarship applications for more information about the scholarships and eligibility requirements. The deadline to submit an application for the summer term is May 21, 2024.

• Lemann Foundation MicroMasters Scholarship Application (Brazil)
• Riady Foundation MicroMasters Scholarship Application (Southeast Asia)

Grading Policy Update

Starting in the spring term of 2023, proctored exams will be worth 70% of the total course grade (rather than 60%). All other coursework will now be worth 30% of the total course grade:

Total Course Grade = (70% * Proctored Exam Score) + (30% * All Other Coursework)

However, learners will no longer have to pass the proctored exam to earn a course certificate. As before, the passing grade for every course is 50%.

Proctored Exams

Learners who submit payment for a DEDP course must now sit for that course’s proctored exam in the same semester that they submitted payment. If you’re not sure about your status, please email us at dedp-micromasters-support@mit.edu. You can review the proctored exam policies in more detail on the Proctored Exams page.
