Overview
All admitted students to Berea College receive our 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.
Details
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.
Admission is competitive, and you will need to meet certain requirements to be considered. Be sure to explore this web site and direct any questions you have to us—we are happy to assist you as you consider Berea College.

Costs and Financial Aid for International Students
Berea College is the only school in the United States that provides 100% funding to 100% of enrolled international students for the first year of enrollment. This combination of financial aid and scholarships offsets the costs of tuition, room, board, and fees.
In subsequent years, international students are expected to save $1,000 (US) per year to contribute toward their expenses. The College does provide summer jobs to international students so that they may meet this obligation.
Accepted international students are expected to pay a $50 (US) entrance fee and a $2,200 (US) deposit to confirm their enrollment. This deposit can be used by international students for certain expenses during their four years of enrollment. For students who are unable to pay all or a portion of the deposit, additional financial aid is available.
All international students are provided with a paid, on-campus job through the College’s Work Program throughout the academic year. Students may use their wages (about US $2,000 the first year) to cover personal expenses.
Internships, scholarships, student conferences and competitions.
