The Oberlin Charitable Trust primarily funds individual higher-education scholarships, making modest, repeated awards to local students to help cover college expenses. Grants are small and targeted, indicating a focus on direct student support rather than institutional operating support or program grants. The foundation appears locally oriented (Mattoon/central Illinois) and favors renewing support to the same beneficiaries across years.
Numerous small awards concentrated on individual scholarships, often repeated to the same recipients; distributed across many students but with several multi-grant beneficiaries rather than large institutional grants.
