Mid-February: What's Next in the Timeline?

Many of you are in the process of filing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) form.  Remember that you can submit your FAFSA earlier using an estimate of your 2011 earnings, and then make the correction once you have secured your official earnings information from your W2 or other tax statements (Kettering's FAFSA code is 002262).

If you have not yet done so, there is still time to register for Kettering's Admitted Student Program on February 25th or March 10th.  Talk to your student about attending this, if possible!  These visit days provide your student with the opportunity to learn much more about Kettering: the co-op job search process, the labs, classes, and overall "student life" at Kettering! You may register here to attend an Admitted Student Program.

Even if your student cannot attend an Admitted Student Program day, you may schedule a personalized campus visit and daily tour any day during the week.  I encourage your student to visit!  Meet Kettering faculty, take a tour of the labs and facilities, meet with an admissions or financial aid counselor to discuss costs, financial aid, and other questions you may have.  Let us know how we may help you in this process!

Next in the pipeline: watch for information about your financial aid award letter.

Co-op: why it's a good thing!

What makes Kettering's co-op program such a good thing?
  1. Your son or daughter will be earning a salary.
  2. Your son or daughter will break the cycle of "you need experience to get the job, but you need the job to get experience".
  3. Your son or daughter will learn in the classroom and the workplace, and will unite theory with practice and knowledge with experience.
  4. Your son or daugher will be way ahead of the professional curve by graduation time.
