Outbound link policy

Mapping Your Future may link to other websites that help our mission of providing free information and services for schools, and for students and families as they consider college, financial aid, careers, and financial literacy options. A volunteer committee reviews outbound link requests.

How we evaluate sites

  1. Does the site relate to Mapping Your Future's mission?
  2. Will the site provide educational value to our target audience?
  3. Is the site appropriate for our target audience?
  4. Is the information on the site accurate, valid, and timely?
  5. Does the site comply with industry standards regarding privacy?
  6. Is the source of the information on the site identified and qualified to be providing this information?
  7. Does the site function as it is promoted and does it allow accessibility to our target audience according to the broadest level of user technology?
  8. Is the focus of the site commercial or informational? We avoid linking to sites that charge the user for their services or focus on sales.

We periodically review the site and links are included in the review process. We do not endorse the sites linked to us unless specifically stated, and we do not require sites to reciprocate our link.
