For many families in Bexar County, the cost of college has been the biggest barrier.

That is starting to change.

More students are going to college, and poverty is declining across our community. Programs like AlamoPROMISE are helping drive that progress, giving thousands of students a path to college without the burden of tuition.

Do you think cost should ever stand in the way of a student’s future?

Durante la prueba, es posible que:

¡No es necesario realizar ninguna acción! Esto es solo una prueba para asegurar que los sistemas de emergencia funcionen correctamente y estén listos para emergencias reales.
