WHY ATTEND TO THE FAIR About Steps to College

The Greatest University Fair in Northern California

Steps to College is a joint project of the Consulate General of Mexico in Sacramento, the California Student Aid Commission, Cien Amigos advocacy group and the Mexican Cultural Center of Northern California, as well as public and private institutions.

Representatives from distinguished colleges and universities from California and Mexico, as well as State of California higher education experts, and nonprofit higher education organizations and advocates work together each year to help students navigate the college experience and learn about their finance options for higher education.

The fair is designed to help all families and students navigate a successful path to college.

Education is the most important tool for personal development and success, as well as an engine for the continued progress of California.
