Thinking About Tomorrow

Guarantors traditionally assist the U.S. Department of Education (ED) to insure private lenders against the risk of loans defaulting. However, at American Student Assistance® (ASA), we think borrowers and their families deserve more from guarantors.

Today’s borrowers need help ensuring their financial wellness. ASA® does this by providing comprehensive education debt management services.

Our Vision

ASA always thinks about tomorrow—and how that future will impact both our industry and our borrowers.

ASA was 1 of 4 guarantors to first enter into a Voluntary Flexible Agreement with the U.S. government. This enabled guarantors to develop programs and techniques to help borrowers avoid student loan default and all of its negative consequences.

Now, we have a new proposal for student loan reform. This proposal entitles all student loan borrowers to comprehensive education debt management services—regardless of the source of their loans.

All borrowers deserve an impartial resource for accurate, timely, and credible information and support. By thinking about tomorrow, ASA ensures borrowers receive what they need, when they need it most.
