Need-blind for international applicants: Amherst says it admits international students 'without regard to their level of financial need', and meets 100% of calculated need for every admitted international student who applies for aid — with no loans in the initial offer.
Aid is purely need-based, from your family's financial documents. Initial offers are loan-free; students can still choose to borrow on their own, and if a student can't meet the work expectation Amherst may offer a loan in its place (which they don't have to accept). Amherst describes itself as the only liberal arts college with need-blind admission for both international and domestic applicants plus full-need, no-loan aid.
A top-tier US private-college sticker price before aid — we haven't verified this year's figure, so check Amherst's official cost-of-attendance page.
