Description

Oberlin College sponsors a National Merit Scholarship for $2,000. Finalists in the National Merit Scholarship program competition are eligible for consideration for an Oberlin-sponsored National Merit Scholarship if they declare Oberlin as their first-choice college, apply to Oberlin, and have not been selected as winners of other National Merit or Corporate National Merit Scholarships. 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.
