BEREA, Ky. - Berea College, founded 150 years ago to educate freed slaves and "poor white mountaineers," accepts only applicants from low-income families, and it charges no tuition. "You can literally come to Berea with nothing but what you can carry, and graduate debt-free," said Joseph P. Bagnoli Jr., the associate provost for enrollment management. "We call it the best education money can't buy." Actually, what buys that education is Berea's $1.1 billion endowment, which puts the college among the nation's wealthiest.
