San Antonio Education Partnership
Offering Free College Advising
Creating College Opportunities, Access, and Success
San Antonio Education Partnership (SAEP) is committed to increasing educational attainment by providing college advising to youth and adults in their pursuit of higher education.
Our services are aimed at helping students access and attend college, and successfully attain a degree or credential. These free services are available at local partner high schools and through cafécollege, a one-stop shop for all things college, centrally located in downtown San Antonio and supported by the City of San Antonio.
Each year, SAEP awards $2.1 million in scholarships to about 3,000 local college students. Beyond financial assistance, scholarship recipients receive ongoing support toward college persistence and degree completion.
We firmly believe that education serves as more than just a pathway to personal success—it acts as a catalyst for a brighter future for San Antonio.
