SAN ANTONIO – The University of Texas at San Antonio and the Alamo Colleges District announced an expanded transfer agreement, allowing eligible students to start at any of the Alamo Colleges and transfer to UTSA to complete a four-year degree while having educational costs covered.
Announced Tuesday, the Promise to Promise partnership allows Alamo College students in the AlamoPROMISE program to transfer to UTSA with tuition and fees covered for up to two years through the UTSA Bold Promise program.
According to the release, AlamoPROMISE covers the full cost of tuition and required fees for new graduates from 47 participating high schools seeking an academic certificate or associate degree at one of the five Alamo Colleges. The UTSA’s Bold Promise program covers the full cost of tuition and fees for qualifying incoming undergraduates.
“The Promise-to-Promise partnership exemplifies what it means for higher education institutions to prioritize student success, creating pathways of accessibility so that students from all backgrounds can succeed,” said UTSA President Taylor Eighmy in a written statement. “We’re so grateful for our partnership with Alamo Colleges District and look forward to working together to educate and graduate even more students to develop a stronger workforce for San Antonio.”
The new partnership is part of an effort developed by UTSA and Alamo Colleges to provide students with a more seamless transfer pathway between the two institutions.
Currently, around 75% of Alamo Colleges students transfer to four-year universities to complete their degrees. The majority of those who transfer enroll at UTSA, said the release.
