Organization History
In 1996, leaders of student loan guaranty agencies recognized the need to deliver online information and services to schools and students. The sponsors wanted to empower schools, students, and families with career, college, and financial literacy information and services, to address these trends, and encourage individuals to pursue life-long success. They believed that by working together, the agencies could meet those needs. That vision and belief in collaboration resulted in Mapping Your Future, a nonprofit, public-service organization sponsored by guaranty agencies and supported by lenders and servicers (Friends members).

Over the past ten years Mapping Your Future has served students and their families, school financial aid professionals, and others in the financial aid industry in a number of ways – always keeping in mind the original mission of the organization. Volunteers and professional staff have worked together to counsel students and families about career, college, financial aid, and financial literacy choices through a state-of-the-art web site
