Financial Freedom Pledge at Berea College, KY
"Berea College is revolutionizing the economics of higher education through its Financial Freedom Pledge, a bold commitment that will provide every enrolled student with a fully funded degree beginning in Fall 2027. The comprehensive initiative guarantees 100 percent of tuition, housing, food and fees without loans, allowing students to pursue their education without financial barriers."
This is a truly incredible opportunity! If you are interested in learning more, Berea College staff and alumni will be in Greenville, SC on September 17th for an informational session designed for students and parents exploring college opportunities. Follow the link to register!
College Visits
Juniors and seniors are allowed up to three college visits each year. Each visit must be to a different institution. In order for a college day to count as a field trip, you must bring written proof of your visit to the institution on the college’s letterhead the day you return to school. The attendance clerk will collect and file your proof in the attendance office.
If you fail to follow this procedure exactly, your college visit will count as an absence and count against your allotted absences per semester.
Letters of Recommendation
Seniors! As you are beginning and starting college applications, one common request is for letters of recommendations from counselors/teachers. In order to help, please complete this form so your counselors can best assist you in these recommendation letters. Make sure you are linking your School Links account with Common App! FIHS will access many recommendations through SCHOOL LINKS ONLY.
