The Council for the Arts at MIT presents several awards annually to MIT students who have demonstrated excellence in the arts:

The Louis Sudler Prize is presented to an individual graduating senior who has demonstrated excellence and the highest standards of proficiency in music, theater, painting, sculpture, design, architecture or film.

The Laya and Jerome B. Wiesner Student Art Awards are presented to individual students (undergraduate or graduate) or MIT groups (.i.e., living groups, student organizations) for outstanding arts-related contributions to the MIT community. Up to four awards are made annually.

The Harold and Arlene Schnitzer Prize in the Visual Arts is presented to current MIT students, undergraduate and graduate, for excellence in a body of work in the visual arts. Students submit an artistic portfolio for consideration.
