Alabama high school students have a window of opportunity to apply to colleges across the South with waived application fees.

The Alabama College Application Campaign is being held between October 17-21. An application code to waive fees is required from some schools.

ALCAC was started ten years ago and is a combination of three other initiatives: the Cash for College FAFSA initiative, Alabama College Application Week and the Alabama College and Career Decision Day.

Advocates hope to increase the amount of students applying to and enrolling in colleges, especially first-generation and low-income students.

“Last year, more than 250 Alabama schools participated and nearly 26,000 students applied to colleges nationwide,” said Monica P. Mack, coordinator of ALCAC.
