Alabama Possible Advocate • Educate • Collaborate In addition, 49 percent of the Birmingham City Schools Class of 2015 filed their financial aid form.

Alabama Possible removes barriers to prosperity through research, engaged learning, poverty simulations and promoting college access and success. We build capacity and nurture reciprocal community partnerships to ensure that our research-driven work is effective and sustainable. We support and create educational equity through the following program areas:

Research: We compile and summarize our re

search on an annual basis through the Poverty Data Sheet, a comprehensive graphic resource that highlights statewide poverty rates and data related to educational attainment, employment and food security. http://alabamapossible.org/datasheet/

Engaged Learning: We promote engaged learning that combines classroom instruction with thoughtful community and civic engagement. We promote relationship-building between our higher education partners through statewide events such as our annual Lifetime of Learning conference. http://alabamapossible.org/higher-education-alliance/

Poverty Simulations: We coordinate and facilitate Poverty Simulations which are unique, interactive experiences that help facilitate an understanding of the challenges faced by individuals and families who are living at or below the poverty level. http://alabamapossible.org/povertysimulation/

College Access and Success: Our college access and success programs include the Blueprints College Access Initiative and Cash for College. Both programs are designed to promote and build educational equity for low income, minority and first generation college-going students across the state of Alabama. Through the Blueprints College Access Initiative, we team students with near-peer mentors who equip them to make structured decisions about their postsecondary options and support them as they navigate the college admissions process. Through Cash for College, we work to increase the number of students completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). http://alabamapossible.org/media-center/education/

To date, Blueprints has worked with 3,251 underserved high school students in 12 Alabama high schools. Nearly all 780 Blueprints graduates have been admitted to at least one postsecondary institution and earned more than $18 million in supplementary scholarships.

What would you do if every decision came down to what you could afford right now?

Poverty simulations help participants step into real-life scenarios where every choice matters.

You’ll take part in navigating paying bills on a limited income, all while planning for the future that feels more like a dream than a reality.

These experiences help shift perspective and spark conversations about how we can better support students working toward education beyond high school.

🚨 BREAKING BARRIERS. CHANGING NARRATIVES. 🚨

The Class of 2026 in Mobile County Public Schools has earned a record-breaking $1.1 BILLION in scholarship offers through Alabama Direct Admission, powered by EAB.

This milestone is about more than dollars — it’s about opportunity, access, and students finally seeing themselves reflected in possibilities that once felt out of reach.

At Alabama Possible, we believe talent is universal, but opportunity is not. Alabama Direct Admission is removing the traditional barriers that too often discourage students from pursuing postsecondary education:
✔️ No application fees
✔️ No essays
✔️ No complicated admissions process
✔️ Just opportunities

When students can see colleges actively recruiting THEM, it shifts mindsets, builds confidence, and transforms futures.

To every counselor, educator, family member, and student who made this possible — thank you for believing that Alabama students deserve pathways without barriers.

The future of Alabama is brighter because of you. 💙

It’s one thing to talk about barriers. It’s another to experience them.

Poverty simulations create a space where participants have to make tough decisions with limited time, money, and resources like many families across our state do every day.

The goal isn’t just awareness. It’s understanding that leads to action.
