About the company
Berea College, a tax-exempt private liberal arts college based in Berea, Kentucky, operates as a federal grant recipient focused on undergraduate education, STEM workforce development, and regional economic development in Appalachia. The college holds no federal contracts and does not compete under set-asides; all 87 awards in the source are federal grants to Berea College as prime recipient, with no subcontract or sub-grant relationships.
Berea College's federal grant portfolio centers on education and institutional capacity building aligned with its mission of providing tuition-free education to low-income and Appalachian students. Recent named grants include a $285,638 NSF Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) collaborative research award (CFDA 47.070) for artificial intelligence curriculum design across undergraduate institutions, running through September 2029; a $606,880 Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) organizational capacity-building grant (CFDA 23.002) effective through September 2028; a $272,364 Department of Education TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) award (CFDA 84.042) for student success programming; a $172,125 ARC career and technical education grant (CFDA 23.002) completed in November 2025; an NSF Division of Undergraduate Education project grant for research on peer discussion effects in STEM pedagogy, concluding May 2026; an NSF Division of Computing and Communication Foundations CAREER award for keepsake technologies and family memory practices, running through July 2028; and a $1,237,500 Department of Education Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) grant (CFDA 84.116) for the Appalachian Promise program. The college also received an NSF Division of Earth Sciences collaborative research grant (awarded August 2026, ultimate completion July 2029) for high-pressure laboratory experiments and mathematical modeling of magma formation processes. Earlier grants include TRIO Talent Search funding, student support services under the American Rescue Plan, ARC community revitalization funding, USDA climate-resilient farming initiatives, and technical assistance grants from the Rural Business Cooperative Services.
The Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education dominates customer concentration, with 27 awards accounting for 57% of recent awards. The National Endowment for the Arts, Department of Education Office of Innovation and Improvement, Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission, and USDA Rural Business Cooperative Services round out the active customer base. Award volume has declined modestly — six awards in 2022, two in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026 — with only two awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The college operates primarily as an education-sector institutional recipient rather than a commercial services vendor and holds no parent contract vehicles, GWACs, or agency-wide IDIQs.
