Amherst endowment

<p>To answer your specific question about financial aid, Amherst remains committed to need-blind admissions for all students and loan-free packages. However, they are increasing the expected contributions somewhat (higher work study, summer earnings). They are also budgeting for the percentage of students receiving aid to remain steady. How that will work with the currently budgeted 5% annual price increases, I’m not sure.</p>
