All admitted students to Berea College receive our Tuition Promise Scholarship. This scholarship is combined with financial aid you may receive as well as any other scholarship you may be awarded by outside parties or organizations to cover 100% of tuition costs. For most Berea students, the Tuition Promise Scholarship amounts to nearly $100,000 over four years.
Why? Because it is our mission to provide educational opportunity to students of great academic promise who have limited financial resources.
In short, we think students are worth more than the tuition they can afford.
Are you looking for a high quality U.S. education and scholarships to assist with the costs? Berea may be the school for you.
We have a long history of welcoming students of all nationalities, religious faiths, races, and ethnicities. If you come to Berea, you will surely be welcomed.
