The Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, 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 parents and students completing applications for federal and state aid applications this academic year by 5%.

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.

Multiple sites will be available between January 28, 2012 and May 5, 2012 where students and parents can receive one-on-one assistance to complete the FAFSA or TASFA.
