Gifts in Action » Area of Greatest Need

Your unrestricted support of The Oberlin Fund helps our students and faculty do what they do best: explore, look, and listen.

Critical needs of our students and faculty are met through gifts to The Oberlin Fund. These gifts are distributed to the areas of greatest need during the current fiscal year.

Typically, about 87 percent of your unrestricted gift will go to scholarship aid. The remainder will support current-use needs around campus. These include everything from facility enhancements to emergency student loan funds.

Oberlin Alumni Fund gifts also allow the College to make the most of opportunities that arise throughout the year – the chance to send a student to present research at a conference or to bring a great musician to campus for a master class.
