Kettering Merit Scholarships may be partly funded through the support of gifts from our generous benefactors. Kettering University also awards need-based aid. In addition, a student's earnings from professional co-op can help off-set the costs associated with a student's education. Kettering students earn $40,000—$65,000 over the course of the professional co-op program.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Nearly 99% of the 2008 entering class received financial aid or scholarships, and almost 88% received a Kettering Merit Scholarship. For this reason, all families are encouraged to file a Free Application for Financial Aid (FAFSA) to take advantage of the University's need-based aid and state and federal gift aid.
