Mission

BEREA TRANSFORMS THE LIVES OF STUDENTS AND FAMILIES BY ADMITTING STUDENTS OF HIGH PROMISE AND LOW MEANS. CORE TO ITS MISSION OF TRANSFORMING LIVES AND CIRCUMSTANCES, BEREA COLLEGE COVERS ALL COSTS BEYOND WHAT THE STUDENT AID INDEX IN THE FAFSA SPECIFIES ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STUDENT AND FAMILY. FURTHERMORE, IT COVERS THESE COSTS WITHOUT PACKAGING LOANS, WHICH IS WHY BEREA STUDENTS HAVE THE LOWEST EDUCATIONAL DEBT IN THE COUNTRY.
