MIT funding

[kngal]

Looking at the MIT ME masters, it looks like they had an open house recently.  Did anyone go and can you tell me more?  DO they offer funding for the masters in mech eng and are all admits invited?  The MIT website sounds as though all aerospace students are funded but mech eng website does not say.  How does this work?

Im new to this whole process and I didnt know masters were invited to the schools or even offered funding. I thought it was reserved for Phds. Is it for all masters or just select few and if you get invited to the open house (they fly your there and pay for your hotel) does that mean you get funding?  How much is that for a Masters?   I wont be going for awhile and considering an external scholarship or working a few years if I have to.    MIT is my number one choice ( and most expensive) but will of course apply to several.   thanks
