From STEM fields to musical performance to social activism, Obies see their hard work, dedication, and talent recognized and supported by the most prestigious foundations and organizations in higher education.
A passion for languages and education is why Oberlin is consistently ranked as one of the top producers of Fulbright scholars among undergraduate institutions.
