Berea College

Berea College is a small, residential liberal arts college of about 1,500 students and 140 full-time faculty, distinguished by its tuition-free model, Appalachian mission, and emphasis on learning through work. Every student holds a paid campus job through the Labor Program, giving employers a distinctive pathway to undergraduates with sustained workplace experience. Funded internships, career-development support, and community partnerships across Central Appalachia extend that connection beyond campus. Competitive federal awards include support from NSF, USDA, NASA, and the U.S. Department of Education; Government Grant Services manages pre- and post-award administration for public funding.
