Student Aid Saturdays encourages students and parents to complete the financial aid applications otherwise known as FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and TASFA (Texas Application for State Financial Aid). Research shows that 90% of students who complete the FAFSA will enroll in post-secondary education.The Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, Firstmark Credit Union, SA2020, San Antonio Education Partnership, GenTX-San Antonio, and our colleges and universities have joined forces to organize Student Aid Saturday events throughout the city to boost the number of students and parents completing federal and state student financial aid applications this academic year by 5%.

Multiple sites will be available between January 26 and April 27, 2013 where students and parents can receive one-on-one assistance to complete the FAFSA or TASFA.
