Visit for Student Advocates

    Hello! Thank you for your interest in visiting Berea College as a Student Advocate! Student Advocates are not students, but are adults who are advocates for students. Typically we see High School Counselors, College Coaches, CBOs that serve youth, and similar professionals for these visits. You have great relationships with your students and these visits are targeted specifically with you in mind. The hope is that if you know more about Berea College, you can go home after your visit and tell your students about all of our wonderful opportunities. Please complete the form below and someone from our Campus Visits Team will contact you to complete your visit registration.

    We’re looking for students with grit, determination and financial need. Students ready to take on a rigorous, top-ranked liberal arts education and turn it into a rewarding career. Students willing to work, to grow, and to expand their horizons through diversity. And students who want to join a community of support that is invested in their success.

    Please note that there are financial eligibility requirements that all students must meet to be able to be considered for admission. Before planning your trip, become familiar with these so that you can determine if your students will meet these requirements. More information can be found here: https://www.berea.edu/admissions/financial-eligibility
