Earnings from Work
An integral form of financial assistance at Berea College is available through the Student Labor Program. All students enrolled in an academic term (Fall, Spring, or Summer) receive a Labor Grant that is applied directly to tuition each term ($4,500 Fall, $4,500 Spring, and a prorated amount for Summer). In addition, students receive direct scholarship payments based on hours worked each pay period (totaling between $2,000 and $3,000 per year) to assist with educational and personal expenses. Depending on total hours worked, a student receives between $28.00 and $37.00 per hour in scholarship funds.
