Breaking the Deadlock: Unifying Our Federal
Student Loan Programs

The student loan system is greatly in need of reform. American Student Assistance is proposing the unification
of our nation’s existing competing loan programs
into one single federal loan program. >>

As a designated administrator of the federal college loan program, American Student Assistance is committed to educating borrowers about successfully managing student loan debt. Our team of experts knows student loans from A to Z, and can answer industry-specific and policy questions as well as field inquiries about applying for and repaying student loans.
