Alabama College Application Week was started more than ten years ago to increase the overall number of students in our state applying to, and ultimately enrolling in, postsecondary education.
The Cash for College FAFSA initiative, Alabama College Application Campaign and Decision Day 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.
