Issues We Care About
As a leader in higher education financing for the past 50 years, American Student Assistance helps to shape Federal Family Education Loan Program policy. Our associates, many of whom have years of experience in higher education financing, participate in industry-wide committees and initiatives aimed at improving the federal student loan program for all participants. Policymakers tasked with creating the laws and regulations that govern federal aid can turn to us for expert analysis and information on the federal student loan issues of the day.
Specifically, we are passionate about legislation and regulations that:
- – enhance borrower benefits
- – simplify student loan borrowing
- – and promote successful loan repayment
See where ASA stands on today’s issues, like:
- – reforming student loan repayment
- – creating a tax incentive for employers to offer a student loan reimbursement benefit
- – developing a financial literacy program for secondary or postsecondary institutions
- – and pursuing a data match between FEMA and the Department of Education to help disaster victims
