Alabama students of all ages are getting a little bit of financial help in taking the next steps in their futures when it comes to higher education.
Thousands of Alabama seniors, and other participants, will be applying to colleges and universities nationwide during Alabama College Application Week (happening now through Feb. 28), where application fees are being waved. Some colleges and universities also refer to this time as "Free App Week."
A key goal of the event is to increase the number of young people, especially first-generation and low-income students, pursuing college degrees.
Colleges and universities participating in the campaign have officially waived application fees to institutions at no costs. The full list of coupon codes can be found by clicking here.
This is an extension of the event that was held in October 2024 for thousands of high school seniors.
“During our college application campaign held in October, we had over 26,000 seniors across the state apply to colleges and universities. 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, in a press release.
“Students that did not apply to a college or university during the initial campaign are encouraged to participate in this event.”
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.
