<em><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Ready Set Repay</span></em><o:p></o:p></span></h1>

<span lang="EN" style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The Oklahoma College Assistance Program (OCAP), an operating division of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, is pleased to announce the launch of
<em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ready Set Repay</span></em>, an initiative to further empower student loan borrowers to make smart borrowing decisions and successfully navigate student loan repayment. While OCAP’s default prevention team
has long offered excellent services for borrowers and the financial aid community,
<em><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ready Set Repay</span></em> includes enhanced features and tools for students and schools, including new resources to help Oklahoma’s higher education institutions maximize the effectiveness of debt education
and default prevention efforts. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN" style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The centerpiece of this initiative is OCAP’s new student loan management website,

<span lang="EN" style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The new website’s structure allows borrowers to easily find tools and information based on where they are in the student loan process. Whether they’re in school, in their grace period,
repaying their loans, behind on payments or in loan default, these easy-to-navigate channels drive users to the content they need. We’ve also created a section just for our campus partners, which offers OCAP’s wide selection of publications, instructional
materials and operational resources to meet your workflow needs and help strengthen your services for student borrowers.
