Pay Schedule & Scale

The Berea College Work Scholarship is awarded for students' assigned work, and is comprised of two parts: 1) an annual Work Grant of $9,000 per year (2022-23 grant amount, applied toward the cost of education); 2) a Work Direct Payment depending on hours worked and work-learning-service assignment (for educational expenses). These two Scholarship sources comprise over $10,000, which equates to approximately $34/hour. 

• The Work Direct Payment is a Scholarship disbursement that Berea College students receive in the form of a payroll payment.  Work Direct Payments are issued through student financial aid packaging.
• Following federal Work College guidelines, these Scholarship disbursements are issued to students at an hourly rate, based on their hours worked and their rate of pay.
