The Senior Class has voted! Your class has decided to support the following funds:

* The Oberlin Annual Fund: The Annual Fund is just that: a fund for charitable contributions made each year that provide direct support for Oberlin. Nearly 90 cents of every unrestricted dollar donated supports scholarships and financial aid, making an Oberlin education possible for those who otherwise could not afford it. These gifts allow us to concentrate on our highest priority — meeting 100 percent of demonstrated financial need for all enrolled students. These current-use funds also help pay for programs and equipment campus-wide, from curriculum projects and library resources to microscopes and music stands.

* Minority Assistance Scholarship Fund: Minority Assistance Scholarship Established in March, 1991 as a current, unrestricted scholarship fund to support needy minority students at Oberlin College. Funds shall be used to support minority students, chosen by the Director of Financial Aid, in accordance with regular financial aid policies.

* Counseling Center Support Fund: The Counseling Center’s primary purpose is to provide psychological support to students as they pursue their academic and personal goals, and to enhance the quality of each student’s experience at Oberlin. The Counseling Center is primarily intended for assessment and short-term counseling, with referrals to private counselors in the Oberlin area if necessary. The center itself is funded through tuition and services are free of charge, although students are responsible for the cost of any external services.  The number of sessions varies and is discussed as part of the initial intake process.

* Yakubu Saaka Scholarship Fund: Established in 2009 to support African students wishing to attend Oberlin College, who demonstrate financial need.

* Other: Make a gift to any other fund of your choosing or make a gift in honor of someone.

PLEASE NOTE: MINIMUM OF $1 GIFT TO SENIOR GIFT IS REQUIRED.
