Fresno State Connect Initiative attended the Fresno Unified Parent University Career and College Symposium. At this event, families received information about college admission, financial aid, and FAFSA completion.

Low-cost internet is an invaluable resource for students and families who are applying to college, as applications and financial aid are often completed online.
