About Alabama Possibles College Access and Success Work

Alabama Possible works to build educational equity by increasing the number of
Alabama students who pursue and complete a college education, particularly among
low-income students, first-generation college-going students, and students of color.
We do this by:
Teaming individual students with near-peer mentors to complete
milestones focused on the social, emotional, and financial aspects of
college access and success through the Blueprints College Access Initiative;
Building a college-going culture by supporting all students with
resources and relationships necessary to pursue and complete valuable
postsecondary credentials;
Nurturing cross-sector partnerships with school systems, higher education
institutions, and other like-minded community organizations to fill gaps
rather than duplicate services.

College is the attainment of valuable postsecondary

credentials beyond high school, including professional/
technical certificates and academic degrees.

What is the Blueprints College Access Initiative?

Blueprints students are teamed with college student near-peer mentors who equip
them to make structured decisions and navigate the college admissions process,
including academic planning, college and career exploration, and financial aid planning.

Cash for College

Cash for College boosts the number of students completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA). Students and their families must complete the FAFSA to apply for the Pell Grant, federal loans,
and other work-study programs at Alabamas two- and four-year, academic and technical schools.

Why is the FAFSA important?

9 out of 10 students who complete their FAFSA attend college the following fall, according to
the U.S. Department of Education
With more than 100 questions, the FAFSA is longer and more complicated than a typical tax return.
Many parents and students lack adequate knowledge to accurately estimate the costs of college.
Most Birmingham City Schools students who file their FAFSA qualify for up to $5,755 in Pell Grant funding
to attend the college of their choice.

Birmingham Joins National Network to Increase College Completion

Alabama Possible leads a partnership to boost college
completion which includes the Community Foundation
of Greater Birmingham, Birmingham City Schools,
the Birmingham Education Foundation, Jefferson State
Community College, Lawson State Community College,
and the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Lumina Foundation chose Birmingham as one of
20 cities for that partnership and pledged $120,000
over the next two and a half years in funding.
The teams goals include boosting college enrollment for
Birmingham City Schools from 36 percent in 2014 to
75 percent by 2025. It will work to equip students with
a network of resources and relationships that will enable
them to overcome the economic and social barriers that

prevent many students from

starting and finishing college.
Birmingham and the other
19 communities will work closely
with Lumina and other national
thought leaders to develop a
customized action plan focused on reaching attainment
goals to increase the percentage of high-quality credentials
held by community residents.
The overall effort connects to Goal 2025, Luminas
national goal to increase the percentage of Americans
with high-quality degrees, certificates, and other
credentials to 60 percent by the year 2025.
