Kennedy-King College and Illinois Institute of Technology

  • Kennedy-King College and IIT have long enjoyed a productive relationship over the last decade, actively working to reinvigorate the cooperation between the two institutions and calling for a higher and broader level of partnership. We have moved forward to significantly extend relationships among a variety of offices including financial aid, admission, international student centers, and minority student affairs as well as academic units.
  • The development of a comprehensive recruitment and transition program will allow Kennedy-King College to identify highly qualified students for transfer to IIT. This partnership will allow IIT to enhance its orientation and academic advising programs for these students, ensuring the highest level of success.
  • Our goal is to develop a unique partnership among our institutions which will serve as a model program for other urban community colleges and universities; a partnership which provides a strong and confident message to secondary school students, resuming students, international students, immigrant students and undocumented students that there are strong, vibrant and developed pathway programs to support an individual's goals and aspirations.
  • Our goal is to develop an institutional partnership built on the foundation of a community of strong professional and personal commitments by the staff and faculty at each institution.
  • At IIT, the Office of Admission is committed to partnering with our lead colleagues at Kennedy-King College on a number of initiatives, including but not limited to:
    • A series of one-stop admission and review sessions at Kennedy-King College
    • A Kennedy-King College day at IIT's two annual IPRO days on campus
    • A reserved number of Undergraduate Research Summer Scholarships with a $5,000 stipend for Kennedy-King College students
    • Merit-scholarships of up to $12,000 per year for Kennedy-King College students
    • Phi Theta Kappa Scholarships of $5,000 per year for Kennedy-King College students who are members of PTK
    • An annual symposium of Kennedy-King College, other City Colleges and IIT to explore further initiatives to enhance our relationship

A final note: At IIT, we very much value the contributions that the Kennedy-King College faculty and staff make in the education of their students who matriculate at IIT. Kennedy-King College students have successfully matriculated after completing their Associates degree or after completing a semester or two at Kennedy-King College. Each of these students in their essays mentions the specific role that Kennedy-King College has provided in their transition to IIT.

The Mathematics Department at Kennedy-King College envisions a permanent relationship with IIT. We are committed to developing the mathematical skills of students to increase their chances of succeeding at a top notch university such as IIT.
