For over 60 years, American Student Assistance (ASA) has focused on helping students pursue a college degree. In fact, they pioneered an entire student access program and partnered with hundreds of colleges and universities to help students and alumni manage their student loans and maintain financial wellness.
They have learned a great deal over these six decades about when students need the most help as they think through their educations and career paths. Today, their work begins with students as young as middle school, providing them tools and resources so they can make informed choices about their futures.
ASA’s mission is to help students know themselves, know their options, and make informed decisions to achieve their education and career goals. They fulfill their mission by providing tools and resources to students online, in classrooms, and through community-based organizations. They are committed to helping students:
ASA’s innovative programs and partnerships, combined with a robust research agenda and advocacy platform, enable them to provide meaningful impact to young people on a national scale.
