San Antonio Education Partnership

Support San Antonio Education Partnership in The Big Give 2025!

Since 1989, San Antonio Education Partnership (SAEP) has been on a mission to create college opportunities, access, and success for San Antonio youth and adults. We do this through free college advising and scholarships that help students access, afford, and complete higher education.

During The Big Give, you have the power to change the course of a student’s life. For many San Antonio students, the dream of college can feel just out of reach. Your gift, no matter the size, removes financial barriers and provides scholarships that help students enroll, persist, and graduate. Every dollar raised during the Big Give goes directly to scholarships for local students —helping them cover tuition and the many hidden costs of going to college. That means $25 helps with school supplies, $50 covers required fees, $100 assists with purchasing textbooks, and $250 provides a student transportation for a semester. When you give, you are not just helping a student cover the cost of a higher education. You are opening doors, fueling dreams, and investing in the future of our city.

Join us this Big Give to fuel college dreams; one gift, one student, one future at a time.
