ALABAMA STUDENTS APPLYING TO COLLEGE NEXT WEEK WITH NO FEES!
This Special Statewide Application Event is Being Held February 24 –28, 2025. Next week, high school students will have the opportunity to participate in our Spring 2025 College Application Campaign on February 24 – 28, 2025. This is an extension of the event that was held in October 2024 for thousands of high school seniors.

Due to the success of this campaign, colleges and universities have agreed to host another event for students” said Alabama College Application Campaign (ALCAC) Coordinator, Dr. Monica P. Mack. “Students that did not apply to a college or university during the initial campaign are encouraged to participate in this event.”

The Alabama College Application Campaign was started over ten years ago to increase the number of students in our state applying to, and ultimately enrolling in, postsecondary education. The Cash for College FAFSA initiative and Alabama College Application Campaign were combined into a single campaign (Alabama Goes to College) to help more K-12 students apply to college early and complete their FAFSA applications. A key goal is to increase the number of young people, especially first-generation and low income students, pursuing college degrees.
