Oberlin Family Fellows help the next generation of Obies prepare to change the world for good.

Leading the way are the Oberlin Family Fellows, a loyal and generous circle of current and past parents whose annual giving of $2,500 or more plays a vital role in helping students achieve their academic promise and equips them with the connected learning experiences needed to go out and change the world.
