Admissions & Financial Aid: Diversity Open Houses & Need Blind Admissions process

As part of Amherst College’s commitment to diversity, the Office of Admission hosts Access to Amherst (A2A) for one weekend in the fall to introduce prospective applicants to Amherst’s campus, student body, faculty, classes and residence halls. Amherst’s need-blind admission policy and generous need-based financial aid support expanded access for students from families with modest financial resources.
