Sample Aid Package and Costs
Unmatched Financial Aid
The Financial Freedom Pledge is delivered to each student through three commitments that shape a financial aid offer and comprehensive package.
We are here to help.
Starting Fall 2027, Berea College will guarantee 100% of tuition, housing, food, fees, and supplies are covered without loans for all students.
The nation's first fully funded, no-loan degree—covering 100% of tuition, housing, food, fees, and supplies—for every enrolled student.
In order to create the best financial aid package possible, we blend generous funding from Berea with federal and state grants, the Work College Program, your personal outside scholarships, and additional awards you may be eligible for.
