Berea College is committed to making off-campus education, globally and domestically, accessible to all students, regardless of their financial circumstances. Donor contributions play a vital role in sustaining and expanding these proven transformative experiences. By supporting Berea’s study abroad programs, donors help empower students — many of whom are first-generation college attendees — to gain either domestic or international perspectives, develop intercultural competencies, and prepare for leadership in an interconnected world.

The Chad Tate Larger Than Life Fund will support the mission of Berea College to fulfill Fully Funded Scholarships for every enrolled student. The fund will stand as an enduring legacy to the success, loyalty, and love that Chad nurtured and shared with all those fortunate enough to call him family, colleague, or friend.

Athletic participation is transformational, as sport breeds discipline, camaraderie, and dedication. Here at Berea, our NCAA Division III student-athletes learn valuable skills that transcend the courts, fields, and trails where they practice and compete. These are lessons about life… to persevere, to overcome, to succeed.
