Oberlin awards merit aid to high-achieving students with regional ties, distinctive backgrounds, and diverse perspectives.
More than one award path. Some awards use published academic thresholds. Others have different selection criteria. A score chart does not describe every award at this school.
First 3 of 9 recorded awards, in chapter display order. This is a selection, not a ranking. Read the full chapter for all awards. Amounts retain the original units and conditions; confirm the entering year with the school.

Recorded stacking policy: Treatment depends on the outside award type. Merit-based outside scholarships replace self-help (student loans and student employment) and do not reduce Oberlin grants or scholarships, provided total grants and scholarships do not exceed billed costs (tuition, room, dining, and fees). Need-based outside grants, entitlements, and benefits — including tuition benefits from student or parent employers — replace Oberlin College grants and/or scholarships dollar for dollar. The page does not state a reduction order for merit awards that exceed the billed-costs cap.

The research date is not a guarantee that a policy still applies. Confirm current amounts, deadlines and conditions with the school before making a financial decision.
