One week left to submit your HackMIT application if you are requesting travel reimbursement! The deadline for our travel cycle is Friday, July 14 at 11:59 PM EST. As a reminder, you are eligible to apply for travel reimbursements if you are commuting from more than 50 miles away from MIT. Decisions for the travel cycle will be released by mid-August.

Updates to our travel policy 🛫 ☁️
After some discussions in our team and hearing some feedback from potential hackers, we have decided to update our travel policy to now reimburse up to 80% of travel costs, rather than our previous $200 cap.
While this means that we may only be able to reimburse a smaller number of hackers, we believe that this change will make HackMIT more accessible to hackers traveling from far away.
Since we have a limited amount of travel reimbursement we can provide, we will unfortunately not be able to admit everyone during the travel reimbursement cycle. However, if you are not admitted during the travel cycle, your application will be considered again during the general cycle, so applying for travel reimbursements will not affect your chances of admission!
If you have any questions or concerns regarding travel, please contact us at travel@hackmit.org.
General Application Due in 3 Weeks!
If you will not be requesting travel reimbursements, you’ve still got plenty of time to get your HackMIT application in! Our general cycle deadline is Friday, July 28 at 11:59 PM EST.
Decisions for this cycle will be released by the end of August.
