American Student Assistance^® (ASA) wanted to ensure that our school clients were aware of a valuable brochure that the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Education recently created to help families navigate the confusing student loan market.

The brochure provides straightforward information about federal, private, and consolidation loans as well as advice on recognizing deceptive loan practices. Please visit the following link to view the 4-page brochure:

The information in this brochure is important for anyone thinking about college, attending college, or repaying their student loans.
