Scholarship and College Information

Alabama College Application Week and the Cash for College FAFSA initiative (Alabama Possible) have been combined into a single campaign to help more K-12 students apply to college early, and complete their FAFSA applications.
 

Alabama schools are creating an influential “college-going culture,” and are promoting the real benefits of college preparation, career readiness, and community service. The U.S. Department of Labor estimates nearly 90 percent of America’s future careers will require employees to have postsecondary experience – an associate degree, bachelors, or more.
