Berea has not charged tuition since 1892. We’ve built our “No Tuition Promise” into an all-inclusive “Whole You” package that no other college can offer. Berea works with your FAFSA to cover all possible housing, food, and fees costs—plus provides unparalleled support: a free laptop, fully-funded internship, comprehensive health care, free professional clothing, and much more. Learn what we offer and how we do it here. 

All Students Covered, All Four Years

Our promise is clear. If we admit you, we fund you. Every single student's full need is met, with no loans, for all four years.

Whole Cost Covered, All Four Years

You pay only what your federal FAFSA requires you to pay. We cover the rest: all tuition + housing + food + fees.

Tuition +++

You receive our No Tuition Promise + our Campus Care Package + our Education & Career Opportunity Package. We offer a one-of-kind, all-inclusive “Whole You” package—see more below.
