Description

The Oberlin Midwest Merit Scholarship recognizes the academic and musical excellence of top students from our region by granting $100,000 to all admitted students from Oberlin's home state of Ohio, as well as 11 additional Midwestern states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Starting in fall 2025, all new enrolling students from these states will automatically qualify to receive $25,000 each year, for a total of $100,000 over four years or five years for our Double Degree students. Oberlin College reviews all admitted students for merit scholarships automatically. There is no separate application required to be considered. Students may apply for admission to either the College of Arts and Sciences and Conservatory of Music; each has different requirements to be admitted. The College of Arts and Sciences' regular admission deadline is January 15, and the Conservatory of Music's regular admission deadline is December 1. Please visit the institution's website for more information about the scholarship, admission application, requirements, and deadlines.
