Berea College provides every admitted student with a tuition scholarship. Many people think that a top-quality education costs a lot of money. We don't. Our generous donors, alumni, and friends have provided Berea College with a remarkable endowment that permits us to combine institutional funds with student financial aid and outside scholarships to ensure that no student pays tuition at Berea. At Berea, there is no out-of-pocket expense for tuition. For most students, this scholarship amounts to $50,000 to $80,000 over four years of enrollment.

The 1998 General Assembly provided Kentucky high school students a great opportunity to make their education pay with the Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES)! KEES, administered by the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA), is funded by Kentucky Lottery proceeds. Students who try to get the most from high school by studying hard and making good grades (2.5 GPA or higher) can earn scholarships for college or technical school. The better students do in high school, the more they will earn toward college scholarships. And students who complete their college studies have a better opportunity to achieve their career goals and improve their standard of living. Education really does pay! You do not have to apply for a KEES award. It is sent automatically to the college you’re attending after the school lets KHEAA know that you are attending classes.

The Kentucky Equine Education Project (KEEP) board of directors has announced an annual $1,000 scholarship program for five in-state undergraduate students working toward a career in the equine industry. The KEEP Scholarship will be awarded to legal Kentucky residents, who are full-time juniors or seniors in college. The potential students also must have a 2.5 or higher GPA on a 4.0 scale and be current KEEP members. The purpose of the scholarship program is to provide assistance to students pursuing a career in the horse industry and demonstrating a commitment to Kentucky's equine heritage. Eligible students must also demonstrate financial need, academic success, hard work, and determination. The deadline for this year's scholarship is June 15. All five winners will be awarded before the start of the fall 2006 semester.

The Kentucky Tuition Grant (KTG) Program provides need-based grants to qualified Kentucky residents to attend the Commonwealth’s independent colleges. Eligible institutions must be accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (or an equivalent regional accrediting association) and not be comprised solely of religious instruction. The program is designed to assist students with the higher tuition charges at the independent colleges. Students must be full-time undergraduates enrolled in an associate or baccalaureate degree program and have no past due financial obligations to KHEAA or to any Title IV program. This grant is limited to 250% of an annual award for an associates degree and 450% of an annual award amount for a bachelors degree. This means, a full-time student at a semester school will use all their eligibility for an associate degree in 2½ years. For the 2005-2006 academic year, KTG awards range from $200 to $2,800.
