金融援助 101

What is 金融援助?

Plain and simple, 金融援助 is money you can use to pay for your college education. There are many types of financial aid, including 奖助金, 奖学金 and Self-Help 援助.

You and your family should explore each option to determine which one is best for you.

奖助金 and 奖学金

奖助金 and scholarships provide money for your education that does not need to be paid back once you graduate. 奖助金 and scholarships are provided by Kettering University, external organizations, and the state and federal government. 

自助援助

Self-Help 援助 includes money you either borrow or earn while at school. 在凯特林, that means you will have the opportunity to apply for federally funded and private loans. You also can earn money through your 合作社 experience or through 工作研究 opportunities.
