Eligibility for Scholarship Aid

Matriculating first-time undergraduate students may apply for assistance for eight semesters (10 semesters for double-degree students). Transfer student eligibility will be prorated based on their class standing at the time of matriculation. All students must be enrolled in an academic program leading toward their undergraduate degree (or degrees, if part of Oberlin’s double degree program), and show satisfactory progress toward the completion of degree requirements, as determined by the Academic Standing Committee of each division.

Students receiving Oberlin merit scholarships must be full-time and in good social and academic standing to be eligible for the award.  Students in their senior year who have permission to be part-time will have their scholarship prorated based on the number of credit hours.
