Three virtual sessions titled “College 101” will focus on key steps in the college-going process for students. The series, scheduled throughout September, will be hosted on the FloridaShines webpage in collaboration with various statewide partners.
Each session aims to discuss a different topic including college and career pathways, the application process, and how to fund the postsecondary education journey. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from experts through the virtual chat feature.
FCAN encourages organizations, communities, and schools to share these resources with students who are interested in learning about applying to a college, university, or career and technical program.
