Full-Ride Scholarships at Berea College & Clark University (2025 Guide)

🎓 1. Berea College, Kentucky

Berea College is unique—it provides a 100% tuition-free education to international students through its work-college model 

• International students pay a refundable US$2,200 deposit—offset by on-campus work (~US$2,500 first year)
• All tuition costs are covered via endowment and grants 
• Need-blind admissions and support for low-income international applicants 

✅ Why Berea Stands Out

• First integrated, coeducational college in Southern US
• Offers paid work-study which supports living expenses
• Diverse campus—typically 8% international, one per country annually 

🎓 2. Clark University, Massachusetts

Clark offers full-ride Presidential Scholarships to around five exceptional international students annually—covering tuition, room & board 

• Open to all entering international first-year students (minimum GPA ~3.5+) 
• No separate application—auto-considered based on academic excellence and leadership 

📌 Application Tips

• Apply as early as possible—Berea begins Fall 2026 admissions from Aug 1 
• Show strong academics (GPA ≥ 3.7), extracurriculars & leadership
• Write a thoughtful personal essay reflecting your goals and fit
• Ask for letters of recommendation that highlight character & impact

💡 Final Thoughts

Berea and Clark offer rare full-ride opportunities to international students, including Pakistanis. These are need-based (Berea) and merit-based (Clark), so prepare early and highlight both your academic strengths AND community values.
