Berea College - Prospective Student

Nominate a Student

Chances are, 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 bright, needy students for 150 years. But many deserving students never hear about us.

This is where you come in.

Every one of the students you nominate who is offered admission will receive a 4-year, tuition scholarship worth up to $90,000.

In addition, we'll provide every enrolled student with a laptop computer and assist them with the costs of room, board and fees to insure that they both have the tools they need for success and that they pay only what they can afford.

They're depending on us to help them. Please take a minute to tell us who they are by completing our nomination form.
