Admitted students can compete at Kettering's Prep for Success programs on campus in February, March and April for a chance to earn additional awards such as full-tuition scholarships, partial scholarships or new laptops.

Students from 25 states are expected to attend Prep for Success, a one-day program designed for students to learn about the University, the co-op process, how to interview for a co-op position and how to write a resume.

"Kettering is seeking the mathlete, the alpha gearhead and the future CEO," Kettering Vice President for Enrollment Services Bob Nichols said. "We're looking for top quality students who want to be tomorrow's leaders in engineering, technology, business management and the sciences."

Prep for Success will also include panel discussions, campus tours and social activities and awards will include full-tuition scholarships, several $5,000 and $3,000 scholarships and/or laptops. Kettering's 2007 Scholarship Program is designed to make the University's co-op education affordable.
