MONTGOMERY, Ala. – Next week, Feb. 20-24, 2023, high school students will have the opportunity to participate in the Spring 2023 Alabama College Application Campaign (ALCAC). This is an extension of the event that was held in October 2022 for thousands of high school seniors. Several colleges have waived application fees for this year’s event.

The ALCAC was started 10 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 ALCAC 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.
