The United States Student Association (USSA) is an American student government association.
The organization was born in August 1978 during a joint meeting between the National Student Association and the 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.)
By the mid-1980s, the USSA met annually in Washington, D.C., with several hundred students attending.
In the early 1990s, the USSA advocated on behalf of students being eligible for credit cards and beginning to build credit. It also advocated against rising college tuition costs.
