This is good news :purple_heart:
“Amherst is the only liberal arts college in the country with a need-blind admission policy for both international and domestic students, as well as a financial aid program that meets full need and does not use loans in financial aid packaging. By increasing its commitment to student financial aid to $71 million per year, the College will provide support for 60 percent of its students, among the highest proportion of any need-blind liberal arts college. The additional investment will save low- and middle-income families thousands of dollars every year and support the launch of more creative initiatives to enhance the Amherst experience for its aided student”
