The site is part of a collaborative effort of guaranty agencies, the National Council of Higher Education Loan Programs (NCHELP) and Mapping Your Future. Going2college.org was developed in response to the College Access Initiative, which was included in the Higher Education Reconciliation Act (HERA). This section of the Act formally recognizes that promotion of access to postsecondary education is a foundational role for guaranty agencies. Click here to read more on how Oklahoma is involved.
