Shelby County High School is pleased to once again partner with the Alabama State Department of Education and Alabama Possible for the 2018 Alabama College Application Week/Cash for College Campaign. The goal of the campaign is to increase the number of first-generation and low-income students who pursue a post-secondary education by assisting high school seniors with the college admissions process and ensuring that each participating student submits at least one admissions application and completes the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application.
Students are encouraged to complete their college application(s) and FAFSA during this week. We will dedicate time on Thursday, November 1st and Friday, November 2nd for students to work on their applications and FAFSA in their English 12 class. Mrs. Keahey and Mrs. McClendon will be available to help students! Parents are welcome to join their student on Friday, November 2nd to work on completing the FAFSA. Please see the list below for colleges and universities participating in this year’s campaign!
