Meet the College.
Future students and their families will have the chance to meet one-on-one with faculty
members and student recruitment staff to learn how academic programs can lead directly
to a career or transfer to a four-year institution. In addition to exploring academic
majors, they will have the opportunity to speak with Trojan Student Ambassadors, learn
about student support services, student clubs and activities, and tour the campus
and Willowbrook Woods, the college’s student housing complex. Vouchers for lunches
in the college café will be provided.
Summer session courses may be previewed online. The college offers full term and A and B term courses. A preview for fall courses will be shared in March.
Pre-registration has its benefits.
Tuition vouchers will be awarded, and all prospective students will receive an ACM
Future Student gift bag that includes their very own ACM t-shirt.

Accessible and affordable.
Attending college is affordable at ACM. Over 90% of ACM students receive financial
aid, and Allegany County residents may benefit from an up to 50% tuition subsidy through
the Allegany County Opportunity Tuition Subsidy or the Allegany County Opportunity Merit Scholarship. County residents can complete two years of full-time study (tuition and standard
fees) to earn an associate degree at ACM for half the cost of one year of study at
a regional college or university. The ACM Foundation offers over $1 million in scholarships
annually.
The college’s Regional Student Waiver program offers a 20% tuition discount for residents of Bedford, Fulton and Somerset counties in Pennsylvania and Hampshire, Mineral and Morgan counties in West Virginia for students enrolled at the Cumberland campus or in online courses.
