Dual Credit Program in SAISD gets a leg up thanks to the support of The Greehey Family Foundation

In an effort to expand dual credit offerings to a wide range of San Antonio ISD students, The Greehey Family Foundation has committed $1.5 million in support of dual credit over the next three years through the SAISD Foundation. The Greehey Scholars Program will be offered to students starting in the fall of 2019, and aims to help approximately 2,000 high school students take dual credit courses through 2022.

According to Liz Ozuna, director of Advanced Academics and Post-Secondary Initiatives, her department’s vision for The Greehey Scholars Program is by 2022, to more than double the current number of high school students in SAISD comprehensive high schools who graduate with 15-plus hours of dual credit.
