Student Financial Aid Program

General Information on Financial Aid

The Financial Aid Program at the American Samoa Community College is intended to help students who need financial assistance to continue their education.

While the financing of their education is primarily the responsibility of the student, there are a variety of resources for financial assistance. Financial aid is made available to students whose family resources are not sufficient to meet their educational expenses. The student’s financial need is determined by taking the student’s cost of attendance (COA) and subtracting the expected family contribution (EFC). In order to be eligible for financial aid, the student’s financial need must be established. This is done by the timely completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is available from high school counselors, from the ASCC Financial Aid Office and/or by applying electronically through the FAFSA web site at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

High school students may apply any time starting January 2 for Financial Aid. A correct, complete application must be received by the ASCC Financial Aid Office by the last day of your high school enrollment, or by the date indicated in the U.S. Department of Education publication The Student Guide, whichever is earlier (see your Financial Aid Manager for more information).
