American Samoa to SOU

SOU is pleased to share two opportunities that assist future Island Raiders in making their college dreams a reality. SOU representatives traveled to American Samoa in February 2018 to announce this initiative at an SOU2You presentation and to visit high schools to discuss these pathways with students and their families in person.

Discounted Tuition Rate

The American Samoa to SOU (ASTS) tuition rate can save students over $18,000 per year, compared to the out-of-state rate. The ASTS rate is equivalent to the Oregon resident tuition rate.

To qualify for ASTS, students from American Samoa must be admitted as an undergraduate freshman or transfer student. Upon admission, residents of American Samoa will automatically receive the ASTS tuition rate. For full details about admissions requirements, visit apply.sou.edu

ASTS recipients will continue to receive the tuition rate as long as they are enrolled full-time and remain in good academic standing.
