Tuition & Fees
Oberlin’s financial aid policy is simple: we meet the full demonstrated financial need of every admitted student and also offer generous merit scholarships.
Each year, more than two-thirds of Oberlin students receive some form of need-based financial assistance. Our three-part award package typically includes grants from the college, low-interest students loans, and work-study jobs.
We commit more than $100 million annually to provide grant aid directly to students. This makes Oberlin affordable to many talented students who otherwise might not be able to pursue an education at Oberlin.

International Students
Oberlin is among the few American colleges and universities that offer substantial financial aid awards to international students, but the process for applying for aid is different than for domestic students.
