Open to international applicants; ~40 new international students per year.

Not a 'scholarship' in the competitive sense -- it is Berea's entire institutional model (every student, domestic or international, attends tuition-free). Good fit for a Mongolian family who can clear the SAT/English bar and accept the work-programme obligation.
