OBERLIN, OHIO — To help families address the increasing cost of higher education, ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï College will award a $10,000 ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Commitment Scholarship to all new students who apply and enroll in fall 2021. The scholarship will be renewable for up to four years for students pursuing degrees in either the College of Arts and Sciences or the Conservatory of Music, and up to five years for students who are pursuing a double degree.

Each year, ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï dedicates more than $60 million dollars to financial aid to support students and their families and is committed to making higher education affordable for all who aspire to join the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï community. By meeting 100 percent of every student's demonstrated financial need, it is ensured that an ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï education is accessible to students from all financial backgrounds. ÍøÆسԹÏ’s generous merit-aid policy provides an opportunity to further address the rising cost of college for all admitted students while also rewarding their achievements. 

In many cases, the $10,000 ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Commitment Scholarship will be part of a larger need- and/or merit-based package that will be calculated once a student has been admitted. Providing the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Commitment Scholarship to all students as a baseline sends the strong message that the college is committed to making an ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï education affordable for everyone. It is important that ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï College reaffirms its commitment to accessibility in this straightforward, universal manner, especially during these uncertain times.
