Since the beginning of the Berea Patrons program in 2013, generous participants have demonstrated a passion for educational opportunity by supporting tuition scholarships for fellow students.

Berea Patrons&nbsp;is a gift club that recognizes students who support the work of Berea College through one-time gifts or through each Labor Program paycheck.&nbsp;Membership is renewed on an annual basis, and all gifts from July 1 to June 30 count toward membership. These gifts go to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.berea.edu/give/no-tuition/funding-model/">Berea Fund</a>, which supports everything that Berea is and does.

Berea College must raise more than $4.7 million to complete tuition funding each year. That’s about $3,000 per student. Current Berea students are coming together to pay forward the gift of education through their own philanthropy. All donations of $5 or more between July 1st – June 30th count toward Berea Patron membership.
