The San Antonio Education Partnership says potential funding cuts could put scholarships at risk for thousands of local students.<\/p>\n

SAN ANTONIO \u2014 A local nonprofit that has helped San Antonio students pursue higher education for decades is urging city leaders to protect its funding as a deadline to approve the city’s 2027 budget approaches.<\/p>\n

The San Antonio Education Partnership says it has supported students for 37 years, providing scholarships and other resources to help them continue their education.<\/p>\n

Last year alone, the organization says it provided more than $2 million in scholarships. Nearly 3,000 students across the San Antonio area rely on its support.<\/p>\n

Now, with city leaders discussing possible funding cuts for local nonprofits as San Antonio faces a significant budget deficit, the organization is worried some of that support could disappear.<\/p>\n

The partnership says cuts could especially hurt students already in the middle of earning their degrees and make higher education less affordable for others.<\/p>\n

The nonprofit has been sharing information about its work online and encouraging supporters to raise awareness as City Council prepares to make its final budget decisions.<\/p>\n

City Council is expected to vote on the 2027 budget Thursday, Sept. 17.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Antonio Education Partnership says potential funding cuts could put scholarships at risk for thousands of local…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":428770,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-428769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=428769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/428769\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/428770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=428769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=428769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=428769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
