Yes, it looks like Bates is need sensitive or aware for all students upon further research. The numbers on the 2018/19 CDS seemingly support this as well as 38% of freshman received fin aid (214/543), while 42% of all students receive aid (776/1832). https://www.bates.edu/research/files/2019/05/cds1819.pdf

I don’t have time to look at all Bates’ peer schools but Amherst and Williams have 50%+ of students receiving aid and Bowdoin is at 48.5%…they are all need-blind schools. Colby hasn’t filled out a CDS in a few years so don’t know about their ratios, but they are need aware too.
