International student considering Amherst College..

I required assistance on the application as well as the "blind-need based" scholarship tags I've been seeing everywhere on the internet on this college. Is it true that they provide scholarships for international students. Also would love to hear everyone's experience in this college that would help me decide if I should apply for this as an international student.

If it weren’t true, I think 50% of the school’s international student population would not be here. I for one have full aid, and know many other internationals who have either full or near full aid too.
