What is the Oberlin Alumni Fund?

Each year, more than 13,000 alumni, friends, and staff members make gifts to the Oberlin Alumni Fund. These gifts help provide scholarships to hundreds of Oberlin students. In fact, more than 87 percent of gifts to the Alumni Fund's Area of Greatest Need become student scholarships.

Gifts to the Alumni Fund help Oberlin in other ways, too. Your gift supports every student, professor, program, and department on Oberlin's campus. For example, gifts to the Alumni Fund can be used to bring guest speakers and musicians to campus, create internship opportunities for students, provide faculty with development opportunities, purchase new equipment for Oberlin's athletic teams, or support new building projects.
