9 a.m. to noon, UTSA Downtown Campus, 501 W. Cesar Chavez Blvd., 78207
“Beat the Heat” has helped SAISD and the SAISD Foundation make significant strides in addressing a critical issue that impacts many of our students: summer melt — the phenomenon where students who intend to enroll in college after high school, but for various reasons, do not. The main feature of the “Beat the Heat” program is the guided campus visit, which allows students to experience college campuses firsthand with the help of trained Postsecondary Navigators. During these visits, students receive hands-on assistance to complete essential tasks such as sending high school transcripts, submitting test scores, addressing financial aid verification, and setting up accommodations through Student Accessibility Services.
