The program is the latest in the San Antonio area that gives a break to students looking to further their education.
Hector Ochoa, president of Texas A&M University-San Antonio, announces the Jaguar Promise, a tuition- and fee-free program for qualifying first-year and transferring students in Texas.Top students in Texas will be able to attend Texas A&M University-San Antonio tuition- and fee-free starting next fall, with a book stipend of $300 a year as part of a program called Jaguar Promise.
With only 27% of adults 25 and older holding a bachelor’s degree or higher, according to the most recent census data, promise programs are key to building a “P-20 pipeline,” according to area college leaders. “Affordability is paramount to the Texas A&M system, and A&M-San Antonio’s new promise program is one of the most comprehensive promise programs in the state,” he said.
“We don’t know the exact number, but we anticipate with this program that it will increase our numbers of students participating in early college high schools across the city,” he said. “It will eliminate the tuition so that I can just focus on my education, learning, growing and making valuable connections,” she said.
With a growing class of more than 14,000 students this year, Southwest Independent School District Superintendent Jeanette Ball said she would encourage students to pursue a degree through the program.
