Mapping Your Future Improves Web Site

Spanish Pages
Mapping Your Future (MYF) (mapping-your-future.org) went live on May 5 (Cinco de Mayo) with a Spanish version of several pages of the web site. With this new Spanish site, MYF hopes to provide college, career, and financial aid information to even more students and families throughout the country.

The translation focuses on the Paying for School section of the web site, but visitors will find several other pages throughout the site translated into Spanish. If a Spanish version of a page is not available, the site provides a link to the corresponding English information. MYF will continue to translate more pages into Spanish. The MYF team encourages you to share your thoughts about the Spanish site with them and to let them know what additional information you would like translated into Spanish.

Aurora Rodriguez from Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corporation (TG) translated the site and made revisions based on some earlier site feedback. TG and more than 30 other guaranty agencies throughout the United States sponsor MYF.

MYF will continually revise and update the site, which uses the formal version of the Spanish language. To view the site, go to the MYF home page and click on "Visite nuestro sitio en Español."

Master Promissory Note (MPN) Information
Schools wishing to access the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)­approved version of the MPN documents can find easy access to the information through MYF at mapping-your-future.org/services/fao.htm. Through this page, financial aid officers have access to the following documents about the MPN:

• Instructions,
• Promissory Note,
• Order Form for the MPN, and

The MYF team is working on ways to incorporate the MPN into the content and into MYF's online counseling process. Making these documents available for downloading on the site is the first phase of the MPN project.
