What's ASA all about?
At American Student Assistance (ASA), we strive to empower all students to pursue the futures they envision. But we're taking a different approach.

One that leads with an ecosystem of direct-to-kid digital platforms that over 12 million students chose to engage with in 2022, a $125 million impact investing initiative, and a focus on advancing policy change at both state and federal levels.
