Tuition-Free College Degree

July 21st, 2008

How would you like to get a college education completely tuition-free for your four-year degree? This is possible for all students who attend Berea College (Berea, KT), where every single student admitted gets a free ride. There is a catch, however. Students who are admitted are from low-income families and show exceptional need and promise for completion of academics.

Berea College is just like a regular college – you get a great education, you can participate in extracurriculars, and there is a staff that cares about your academic success. Students not only do all these things but they also work on campus (and get paid too!) at least 10 hours per week. Internships, co-ops, and study abroad opportunities abound. And there are more than 45 majors and minors from which students may choose.

Students are chosen based mainly on their family’s income to give students who may not be able to afford college at all, the chance to get a solid education. At Berea, they “don’t think your income should dictate your outcome.”

For more on Berea, see the article in the Times.

Hello, I am really interested in getting a college degree, but unlike many others I am from a family that never believed that a woman can be anything other than a housewife. I am 20 years old have a 16 month old son and want to prove everyone wrong. I have a few college credits from when I was in high school and working at the local Peter Piper Pizza. With the money I made I was able to pay for a few class, but now I am stuck at home taking care of a baby, and although I love him to death, I just want to show everyone that woman can succeeded as well. Please give me a chance to continue my education, I will not let you down. There was very little for me to review on your website but I would really like more information. Thanks again. I hope to hear from you soon.
