Canadian and International Students

Canadian Students

Students from Canada are eligible for all financial assistance provided from Amherst College funds.  Canadian students may be referred to their provincial student loan programs in fulfilling the self-help component of a financial aid award.  Application instructions are found in Applying for Aid. All financial entries in the Financial Aid PROFILE form or other documents (except tax returns) submitted to the College should be given in United States dollars and translated into English, if necessary. Canadian students should not complete a FAFSA.

International Students

A very limited number of financial aid awards are available each year to international students. International applicants should follow the procedures outlined on the section of our webpage for international students.
