Kettering (Flint, MI co-op engineering/business; formerly GMI) awards a holistic core Merit Scholarship whose dollar amount is withheld and that applies to TUITION ONLY and never increases, plus published named/endowed and co-op-employer scholarships (GM, PHINIA, Piston) that can reach full remaining tuition. (DRAFT)
More than one award path. Some awards use published academic thresholds. Others have different selection criteria. A score chart does not describe every award at this school.
First 3 of 9 recorded awards, in chapter display order. This is a selection, not a ranking. Read the full chapter for all awards. Amounts retain the original units and conditions; confirm the entering year with the school.

$2,000-$3,000 · Published range

Eligibility: Entering freshman or transfer who is a sibling of a current student OR has a parent/step-parent in residence/grandparent who graduated from GMI/Kettering. Meet BOTH criteria for $3,000; one criterion = $2,000. Financial need may be considered
Renewal: Recorded as renewable. Full renewal conditions are not recorded here; request them from the school.
Other terms: Tuition only; restrictions may apply. Rolling; apply before first term via Scholarship Universe.
Recorded stacking policy: You must report all outside scholarships. Outside scholarships will NOT typically reduce the Merit Scholarship, but in certain circumstances they may (the office will inform you). VA tuition benefits may adjust the Merit Scholarship. Co-op employer scholarships (GM, Piston) explicitly fill remaining tuition/room-and-board after all other aid is applied.
