The 2009 Kettering Merit Scholarships
* unweighted
Kettering University uses the actual GPA or a recomputed GPA (math, lab science, English only), whichever is higher. The highest individual subject matter scores on the ACT or SAT are calculated to award a merit-based scholarship. Kettering does not use the writing score on either the ACT or the SAT. Also, if a student's grades or ACT/SAT scores improve, Kettering reevaluates and adjust s the scholarship accordingly. All test scores must be received by June 1, 2010.
Kettering Merit Scholarships may be partly funded through the support of gifts from our generous friends and benefactors. Kettering University also awards need-based aid, plus, a student's earnings from co-op which can help offset educational costs. In addition, a student's earnings from co-op can help offset educational costs. Kettering students typically earn $40,000 - $65,000 over the course of the co-op program. Freshmen entering in 2008 earned an average of $12,000 in the first two work terms (based on 40 hours/week for 24 weeks).
