Mission

The mission of the Financial Aid Office is to ensure students have access to and are successful in higher education by assisting them and their families to apply, obtain, and make the best use of all financial resources they are eligible to receive.

Through outreach initiatives, we support incoming students in making a successful transition to the American Samoa Community College. Furthermore, we contribute to the institution's transfer and retention efforts by providing financial literacy workshops and guidance to our continuing students to help make their academic endeavors attainable and to help make better life and financial decisions beyond ASCC.

While complying with Federal, State, and Institutional regulations and guidelines, the financial aid office ensures equity and consistency in the delivery of funds to students.

“I chose ASCC because I did not want to leave the Island, and it’s the best decision I have ever made! I strongly recommend ASCC not only because it makes you feel at home but it also offers you a great learning experience”. 

-Norman Puipui (Samoana HS Graduate, Class of 2014)

“I chose ASCC because I wanted to have the experience and knowledge before exceeding my education abroad. I would highly recommend high school seniors to enroll in ASCC, because you are able to narrow your goals and have the discipline to follow through with them”.

- Hinckley Tufa (Tafuna HS Graduate, Class of 2015)

“I chose to attend ASCC because it’s an accredited institution that will give you great training on what to expect at colleges and universities off-island. I didn’t know what I wanted to do during my last semester as a high school senior; ASCC has helped pave the academic pathway that I need to continue to pursue in order to reach my ideal career goal”.
