That said, you should have an incredibly small peer group of competition from Samoa for LAC’s, which should help.

When you say $17,000 for tuition, do you mean total expenses?

Any of the LAC’s mentioned here could be a fit and might find the necessary financial support. I’m generally a supporter of limited applications (not applying everywhere), but in your case it might make sense to target several schools.

One suggestion: look for programs that “bring in” juniors for an on-campus introduction like WOW (Windows on Williams), DiscoSwat (Discover Swarthmore), Discover Reed, or other programs.
