2008 Incoming Freshman Student Kettering Merit Scholarships

Kettering Merit Scholarships reward academic excellence and hard work. All accepted applicants who meet the following criteria will receive a Kettering Merit Scholarship. At the time of acceptance, students will receive their initial scholarship award. Accepted students will also be invited to compete for additional scholarships-some valued up to full tuition-during a Prep for Success Conference held in February, March and April, 2008.

To benefit each student, Kettering University will use either an actual GPA or recomputed GPA (math, science, English only), whichever is higher. Total SAT scores are based on highest math and verbal results only.

Kettering Merit Scholarships may be partly funded through the support of gifts from our generous friends and donors. Kettering University also awards need-based aid. In addition, a student?s earnings from professional co-op can help offset the costs associated with a student?s education. Kettering students earn between $40,000-$65,000 over the course of the professional co-op program. Freshman entering in 2005 earned an average of $12,800 in the first two work terms.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 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.
