Financial Aid Awards Details:
Once you are accepted for admission and your financial need is
determined, a financial aid award that is equal to 100% of your need
will be offered. Emails regarding financial aid awards will be sent soon
after admission emails are sent to first-year and transfer applicants.
The award is sometimes called an "aid package" because it may include
both self-help (employment) and gift aid (scholarships and grants).
Students with lower financial need will be offered self-help. Students
with greater need will be offered a combination of self-help and gift
aid. Amherst College has replace all initially packaged, need based
student loans with grant assistance and also offers $2,400 in an
employment opportunity.
Students may decide to borrow a student loan to purchase a computer, to
replace the summer savings expectation, or to replace work in the aid
package. Need-based student loans are interest-free while you are in
school and low-interest during repayment after graduation. Any remaining
need is met with scholarship - aid that does not have to be
repaid.
You do not have to accept aid offered in the form of self-help in order
to receive gift aid from the College. The College, however, will not
replace the self-help component of your aid package with scholarship or
grant assistance.
