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.^[1] (The National Student Lobby itself was originally born of a split with the National Student Association.)^[2]

By the mid-1980s, the USSA met annually in Washington, D.C., with several hundred students attending.^[3]

In the early 1990s, the USSA advocated on behalf of students being eligible for credit cards and beginning to build credit.^[4] It also advocated against rising college tuition costs.^[5]^[6]
