Hamilton is generous to everyone it accepts. I, as an international student, got tons of money from Hamilton. Also, they kept giving us extra money during the year - we received emails like: “We decided that we’d pay for your SEVIS (visa) fee so we reimbursed that 200 dollars on your account.” It happened multiple times with various things. Nice.
Also, you even get the tax return on the financial aid you receive from Hamilton. So, basically, I got 400 dollars that the state paid back to Hamilton after Hamilton paid taxes after my financial aid package. When I asked why on earth would they not wanna keep that 400 bucks, Hamilton told me that I should take that 400 dollars as a gift and move on.

So yes. They can be ridiculously generous.
