Once
your financial need is determined, a financial aid award that is equal
to your need will be offered. Notices of financial aid awards will be
sent soon after admission letters are mailed 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
$2,200 in an employment opportunity.
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.
