Berea College achieved national distinction as the first coeducational and
interracial college in the South. With an emphasis on service to the people
of Appalachia and beyond, Berea enrolls 1,600-plus students from more than
40 states and 70 countries. The College has a longstanding commitment to
interracial education; here, people of different races seek to learn from
and about each other, while also living together. Berea is among the most
racially diverse private liberal arts colleges in the United States. It
admits only students whose families are unable to afford the high cost of
tuition and awards each of them a Tuition Promise Scholarship, meaning no
student ever pays tuition. Berea’s students excel in the College’s
supportive but demanding academic environment, and many are the first in
their families to graduate from college. The College is one of nine
federally recognized Work Colleges, and all students hold a position in
which they work 10-12 hours per week. *Washington Monthly* Magazine has
consistently ranked Berea in the top 3 of Liberal Arts Colleges for its
success in educating and graduating academically talented, low-income
students who become service-oriented leaders in their professions and
communities; in 2016, 2017, and 2018, the magazine ranked it number 1.

Located where the Bluegrass Region meets the Cumberland Mountains, the town
of Berea (pop. 15,000) lies forty miles south of Lexington and is
approximately two hours from Cincinnati, Louisville, and Knoxville. More
information about Berea College is available at http://www.berea.edu.
