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.
