ASCC Alumni Association Announces Fall 2014 Scholarship Recipient

The American Samoa Community College (ASCC) Alumni Association offers one of several scholarships available to students who do not quality for the federal financial aid available to those born as US nationals or citizens. Students born in the US and its territories have access to resources such as the Pell Grant to help them meet the cost of college, but for those who do not qualify for this assistance pursuing a college education can be a formidable financial challenge. With this in mind, the ASCC Alumni Association raises funds each semester to provide assistance to one promising non-Pell student in the form of a $500 scholarship. At a ceremony earlier this month, the Association awarded its fall 2014 scholarship to Ms. Miranda Galo of Matu’u.

ASCC Graduate Banquet Celebrate Scholastic Achievement

The Division of Student Services at the American Samoa Community College (ASCC) holds its Graduate Banquet each semester several days prior to the official Commencement Ceremony. The Banquet gives the pending graduates an opportunity to enjoy a social occasion where members of their class receive recognition for outstanding scholastic achievements. The fall 2014 Banquet took place this past Wednesday, December 10th, at Seafood Restaurant, and highlighted the accomplishments of the most recent group of young men and women transitioning from ASCC into the next phase of their academic or professional careers.
