Full scholarships for international students at Berea College?

I've heard Berea College offers full scholarships for international students. Can anyone share insights on what this covers and if it's difficult to get? It sounds like a fantastic opportunity if I can make it.

Yes, Berea College is one of the few institutions in the United States that offers full scholarships to its students, and this extends to international students as well. The scholarship, referred to as a "No-Tuition Promise", essentially covers the cost of tuition which is approximately $44,100 per year. The scholarship does not however cover other costs such as room, board and personal expenses, but these costs may be covered by additional financial aid or on-campus work-study programs.

In terms of competitiveness, Berea College admits around 30-35 international students annually which can be quite competitive considering the number of applications the college receives from all around the world. Acceptance rates fluctuate from year to year but are typically in the range of 10-15% for international students.

Priority is given to applicants who demonstrate financial need, have a strong academic record, and show potential in leadership and service. It would be a fantastic opportunity indeed if you're accepted. Just make sure to submit all required documents on time, and try to present yourself in the application as a motivated, academically serious student who is also actively engaged in extracurricular activities to boost your chances.
