Kettering College Announces New Scholarships for Transfer Students
A new transfer scholarship has been announced for students looking to make a switch to attend Kettering College beginning Fall 2022. This scholarship is intended to make healthcare education at Kettering College more accessible and affordable for transfer students and is based on their college GPA.
According to Forbes.com colleges are seeing a steep decline in transfer students over the last two years due to the pandemic. “We know that many students may have wanted to transfer to Kettering College to pursue a healthcare career but the instability in the world and personal or family financial instabilities may have stopped them from making a necessary switch” says, Adam Brown, Dean of Student Success. “We hope this scholarship makes this transition more accessible so that transfer students can choose KC as the place to complete their college degree and start their healthcare career.”
The Kettering College Academic Achievement Transfer Scholarship is a four-year renewable scholarship for transfer students in select programs. This scholarship is automatically awarded to students based on their cumulative college GPA and will be awarded to those pursuing a degree in nursing, health sciences, respiratory care, human biology, sonography, and radiology. Students can receive between $5000 -$8000 per year. Students must maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA at Kettering College to continue to receive the scholarship.
With the current employee shortages in the medical field, we know many students are ready to switch their majors to attend a college that will launch them into a healthcare profession to aid in this crisis

“At Kettering College, we set up our students for success in passing their licensing exams and in outstanding job placement rates in hospitals. We hope this scholarship helps transfer students make a worth-while choice to attend Kettering College and will make the pursuit of a healthcare degree more affordable.”
