The Alabama Possible small but mighty team is grateful for the support we receive from supporters and partners like you! The bodies of work Alabama Possible implements continue to remove financial barriers to postsecondary pathways specifically for students of color, first generation students and students from under-resourced families. Your support affords us the opportunity to assist over 50,000 students and 400 educators, counselors and career coaches access postsecondary access and success resources at no cost. This includes over 125 students applying to Historically Black Colleges and Universities without paying application fees. Furthermore, we support students and families statewide seeking advice and guidance navigating the postsecondary access process through our Alabama Goes to College Help Desk. The ability to engage citizens and leaders in meaningful deliberation, guided by the Barriers to Prosperity Data Sheet, leads communities to action through our three-part Breaking Barriers to Prosperity Toolkit. We work to re-imagine how the Alabama College Attainment Network leverage its network of stakeholders to meet Alabama’s educational and workforce needs through communities of practice- Regional College Attainment Networks. We are also re-imagining how to enhance the partnerships we have with statewide and national organizations that positions Alabama Possible to serve as a trusted convening organization for networks like the Higher Education Alliance, Degrees When Due and the nation’s first Historically Black Community College and Predominately Black Community College Network.
