 This annual event was created through a partnership between the Alabama Commission on Higher Education (ACHE), Alabama Community College System (ACCS), Alabama Possible organization, and the Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE).

Earlier this month, a professional development workshop was held for Alabama high school counselors, career coaches, and local coordinators to provide them with information for this statewide college application event. Each educator received important details and the official list of participating colleges and universities.
