“The most rewarding part of the work that we get to do is to provide the resources that truly make an Amherst education affordable.” —Gail Holt, Dean of Financial Aid
Your financial aid package is just the first piece of support that Amherst College provides. We offer a number of resources that support students throughout their college experience. Look through our financial aid enhancements to see if you qualify.
Returning students should check their Financial Aid Portal to review completeness of 2023-24 financial aid application materials. Missing materials should be submitted as soon as possible.
We have awarded more than $67 million in Amherst scholarships this year. That’s money dedicated solely to meeting the financial need of our students.
Students leave Amherst with an extraordinary education, a long list of exceptional accomplishments, and the freedom to build their future without the burden of student loan debt. Approximately 75% of Amherst graduates in the Class of 2021 graduated with no student loan debt.
This approach makes us distinctive. We are proud to say it also makes us a leader. Only a few colleges in the country can say what we can about financial aid:
Nearly 60% of our students receive financial aid. Our average financial aid award last year was more than $62,000. So the majority of our students pay less—often far less—than the cost of attendance.”
