Decisions about higher education should be linked to students’ interests, passions and aptitudes. Higher education is far too expensive to be used as a time of discovery. Unfortunately, with nearly forty percent of kids going on to higher education but failing to complete in six years, it is clear that many are making uninformed choices about their higher education journey, and are mired in debt as a result. American Student Assistance® (ASA) believes there is an opportunity to change that.

In our role as an advocate for students, ASA® is using its resources to evolve public opinion around higher education pathways. We believe that this approach will increase student success by better informing students of the choices in front of them, and help students avoid higher education missteps before they occur.
