Financial Aid Assistance

The American Student Assistance® (ASA) College Planning team helps young people and adults from all backgrounds plan for college and identify sources of financial aid through school-based programs and located in libraries and community agencies. Many of our programs, backed by a wide range of supporting partners, focus on improving college preparation, enrollment, and success for students traditionally underrepresented in higher education.

For more information on their services, go to www.asa.org/plan.
