Financial assistance from Amherst College, USA.

Application and Financial Aid Guidelines

Regardless of your citizenship or geographic location, you should follow the same first-year or transfer application process that other students follow. In the 2008-2009 admission cycle, Amherst College extended its need-blind admission policy to international students. This means Amherst will admit international students without regard to their level of financial need or request for financial aid. In addition, Amherst meets 100% of demonstrated financial need for all international students who are admitted to the college and apply for need-based financial aid. To review the requirements necessary for international students to apply for financial aid, visit the Office of Financial Aid's web pages for international applicants.

Undergrad: Financial aid from Occidental College, USA

Financial aid for international students is very limited. Aid is awarded in the form of scholarships, which vary in dollar amounts according to each student's demonstrated need, but may cover up to the full cost of an Occidental education. International scholarships are awarded according to merit and need, and are given to those students who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement.

Only those international students who are unable to meet our costs should apply for aid, since the competition for admission among applicants tends to be considerably more intense than among international students who do not require financial assistance. Please also note that international students who do not apply for aid at the time of admission should not expect aid during any of their years at Occidental.

If you need financial assistance in order to attend Occidental College, please explain any unusual expenses, debt, or special circumstances using the space provided on the Certification of Finances and complete the International Student Financial Aid Application (ISFA)*. The ISFA Application can also be requested from the Office of Admission. Both forms should be returned to Occidental College, Admission Office, 1600 Campus Road, Los Angeles, CA 90041.
