AIM Program
Kettering University’s Academic Interested Minorities (AIM) Program has completed its twentieth year. The six-week program begins in
July and ends in August.
The AIM program is designed to augment Kettering University’s efforts to reach a greater number of minority students who qualify to attend
the University. It serves as an exploratory experience and as a motivational mechanism for minorities to pursue careers in engineering, math,
science, or management through higher education. Participation in this program will help minority students improve and develop the
academic skills needed in an engineering, science or mathematics program of higher education with technically oriented courses.
Kettering University and its sponsoring corporations provide support to cover the cost of tuition, room, board, books, supplies, and
miscellaneous expenses.
