these resources. It doesn't matter where your current finances stand - college education

offer assistance in Spanish to ensure you and your child understand every step of
the process. Communication should never be a barrier to education. We strive to make
you feel comfortable and supported as you embark on this important chapter of your
child's life.

your child might grow distant from their roots along the way. But at Coalinga College,
we support our students in maintaining their cultural identities while growing acadically.

seen, heard, and understood.
