Student Aid Saturdays is a partnership of the San Antonio Education Partnership, Generation TX and SA2020, and is managed by the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce. There is a direct correlation between students who apply for financial aid and then go on to college. Student Aid Saturdays helps San Antonio achieve SA2020 goals of college readiness, high school graduation and college enrollment.
