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.
