(850)

Berea awards four-year tuition scholarships to all its students, who because of financial circumstances cannot otherwise afford a high-quality, residential, liberal arts education. All students are required to work at least 10 hours per week in campus and service jobs. Berea's student labor program creates an atmosphere of democratic living that emphasizes the dignity of all work and provides opportunities for students to earn money for their rooms, books and board. Alumni from Berea distinguish themselves and the college in many fields. Graduates include community leaders throughout the region, a Nobel Prize-winning chemist, a U.S. Cabinet Secretary, the inventor of touch screen technology, and other alumni who live out the college's motto: "God has made of one blood all peoples of the earth."

When people ask for career advice, I say, "Your career is going to be far more random than you are prepared to accept. It depends mostly on where you happen to be standing when the angels of light and darkness pass by."

Berea College welcomes community members to free fall convocations featuring authors, innovators, and performers.

“Having community members sitting alongside our students shows them that learning isn’t something that ends when you finish college,” Dr. Sarah Adams, interim dean of curriculum and executive director of education, said. “It’s something you can do for your whole life.”

"Berea gave me so much that it’s hard to put it all into words. When I talk to people about everything that Berea does for its students, they’re just shocked. When I tell my friends from other schools about how Berea funded both of my internships, or paid for me to attend a conference, or gave me a grant for professional clothing, it completely blows their minds that a place like this even exists.” —Esterline '27
