Your financial aid package is just the first piece of support that Amherst College provides; our resources are intended to support students throughout their college experience as they look ahead to shaping their own financial future. If you are experiencing financial hardship due to an unanticipated expense during the academic year, we encourage you to look through the funds below for eligibility and applicability. You can also reach out to us directly at finaid@amherst.edu, and a member of the financial aid team would be happy to meet with you.
