Fresno State was recently awarded a $50,000 contract from the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities as a technical assistance support for the Transformation Planning Grant  designed to increase access, improve success rates and find greater cost efficiencies. In an effort to make the next generation a “college-going culture” within the local region, the project will create a technology-rich kindergarten and develop it into a streamlined college graduation pipeline working with 10 Hispanic-serving institutions.
