I'm planning on transferring to Berea College and was wondering if they offer any scholarships specifically for transfer students. Any insights on what might be available or how to apply would be super helpful!
Berea College has a unique approach to financial aid. The College itself provides all admitted students with a "Tuition Promise Scholarship" which ensures that tuition is fully covered for all four years.
This makes Berea one of the few higher learning institutions in the U.S. where every admitted domestic student is awarded a full-tuition scholarship. This comprehensive scholarship is available to both incoming freshmen and transfer students.
However, it's important to clarify that Berea's "Tuition Promise Scholarship" only covers the tuition costs. Students are responsible for other fees, including room, board, and other personal expenses. Berea encourages students in need of additional financial assistance to apply for federal aid through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The college also accepts Kentucky Tuition Grant for in-state students, if eligible.
When applying as a transfer student, there isn't a separate process to apply for the Tuition Promise Scholarship. Your scholarship is included as part of your acceptance into Berea College. Make sure you have all your transcripts and complete their application process on time.
As always, it's best to reach out to Berea's Financial Aid office for the most accurate and updated information.
