Current TV featured an alternative and accredited model at Berea College: "At Berea, which was founded in 1855 as the first integrated college in the South, all 1,530 students work at least 10 hours a week in a campus or service job, earning $3.80 an hour and four years of free tuition. Eighty percent of the school's operating costs are funded by its endowment and the rest comes from donations." In order to be accepted, you must demonstrate financial need.
