American Samoa Community College

What is the cost of studying for a year at American Samoa Community College?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees total $5,300 for in-territory students and $5,600 for out-of-territory students. These are published charges, not the full amount a student may need for an academic year.

• In-territory full-time tuition: $4,500, plus $800 in required fees.
• Out-of-territory full-time tuition: $4,800, plus $800 in required fees.
• Reported part-time tuition: $150 per credit for in-territory students or $160 per credit for out-of-territory students; other applicable fees may add to the bill.

Students also need to budget for books, supplies, transportation, food, and housing. The reported books-and-supplies estimate is $2,600; actual spending depends on courses. A reported room-and-board estimate is a budgeting figure, not a charge for an ASCC residence hall. In the 2024-25 aid data, 84% of students received financial aid. Average net price - the estimated cost remaining after grant aid - varies by family circumstances; for students from families earning $0-$48,000, the reported average is $2,238. It is an average, not an individual aid offer. Eligible students should ask the financial aid office about federal grants, scholarships, veteran benefits, application steps, and the costs included in their own aid budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at American Samoa Community College?

ASCC students can seek career guidance and explore student employment, but a campus job, Federal Work-Study award, and internship are not interchangeable. Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is need-based aid earned through approved work; it is not a grant paid in full at the start of a term.

The college reports individual and group career counseling, résumé assistance, career-interest testing, interview workshops, job fairs, and employer recruitment. Those services can help students prepare for a job search without promising a placement. Students seeking paid campus work should ask the financial aid office whether they qualify for Work-Study and where approved openings are posted; those seeking career-related experience should also ask their academic department whether it offers internships or other practical placements.
