National association of students and student associations in the United States

The United States Student Association (USSA) was an American student government. According to Inside Higher Education in 2015, it was the largest of a number of student associations that were arguing for free higher education.

The organization was born in August 1978 during a joint meeting between the National Student Association and more recently formed National Student Lobby. The membership of both organizations voted overwhelmingly to merge due to overlapping lobbying work and student government based membership. The National Student Lobby itself was originally born of a split with the National Student Association.


The USSA is estimated to have collapsed around 2018 due in part to policies similar to voluntary student unionism in Australia and New Zealand that weakened student governments' ability to reliably collect membership fees. Currently there is a plan to revive the USSA with the help of the current in term president and the USSAF. The revival is supported by the Ontario Student Union
