If you were unable to attend this year’s Berea College Homecoming, you certainly missed out on all the wonderful festivities. Over 360 alumni and guests registered for the event and many others joined us for the festivities throughout the weekend.
Do you know a junior or senior who has everything it takes to be successful in college except the money to pay for it?
Let us help!
Berea College has been serving students of promise with limited financial means for more than 150 years. But many deserving students never hear about what Berea has to offer.
Every student offered admission to Berea College will receive a four-year, full tuition scholarship, currently valued at more than $100,000.00.
In addition, we'll provide every enrolled student with a laptop computer and assist them with the costs of room, board and fees.
Please take a minute to help a deserving student you know by completing our nomination form.
