669 of 751 verified schools publish at least one four-year renewable merit award.
Oberlin Conservatory is one of them. The cohort minority (82 schools) only awards one-year scholarships, which means the four-year value families assume on a brochure quote isn't guaranteed at every school.
133 of 751 verified schools publish a dedicated National Merit Finalist package.
Oberlin Conservatory is one of them. NMF packages typically carry their own stacking and renewal carve-outs separate from the standard automatic merit ladder; confirm those before assuming the headline NMF value is final.

Every claim is checked against Oberlin Conservatory’s own published materials. Below is the full reference set.
