Berea's Financial Requirement

Berea College provides a remarkable opportunity for students who have great academic promise, but limited financial resources. We do this by awarding all admitted students a 4-year, full-tuition scholarship, the College has established a policy for determining each family's financial eligibility for admission.

For 2008-09, that policy permits a maximum annual parental contribution of $4,750, using each family's information as provided on the FAFSA. Because of this, Kentucky students are required to submit the FAFSA form by March 15th. All other students should submit FAFSA information by April 15th and no later than May 1st of the calendar year the student plans to enroll.

Applicants may submit Berea College's Financial Resource Questionnaire (FRQ), to be considered for admission prior to the availability of the FAFSA. You may submit your FAFSA online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/.
