      • Scholarships for African-American Students

        Attending college and completing a degree are important academic goals for any student. Unfortunately, there is a pronounced racial gap in enrollment rates at top colleges and universities around the country. Data from the National Center for Education Statistics reveals that African American students only accounted for 14% of total undergraduate enrollment in 2016, while whites accounted for 56%.

         
        Affordability is a concern for all college-bound students, including African Americans. Fortunately, a number of scholarships and financial aid opportunities are earmarked specifically for their demographic. Several organizations offer even more specific aid opportunities, such as scholarships for African American women.

      • The Role and Legacy of HBCUs

        What Are HBCUs and Why Were They Created?

        Historically Black colleges and universities, more commonly known as HBCUs, are institutions of higher education founded to educate Black students. In the 19th century, when many colleges and universities refused to admit Black applicants, HBCUs offered them a route to higher education.

      • The Alabama Family Guide for Student Reading Success: Kindergarten through Third Grade

        One of the most important predictors of a child’s academic and future success is the ability to read by the end of third grade. Everything that happens in your child’s life in the early years has a lasting impact on their future potential. Families are essential in setting high expectations for learning and encouraging their child’s academic achievement, growth, and success! Your active participation and partnership with your child’s teacher and school, along with reading support at home, is critical to their success in meeting the assessment standards established in Alabama.

        This Read-at-Home plan includes activities to help your child practice the Foundational Components of Beginning Reading:

        - Phonological Awareness
        - Phonics
        - Fluency
        - Vocabulary
        - Comprehension
        - Writing
        - Oral Language

        We are happy to provide you with this Read-at-Home Plan, which includes activities to help your child become a proficient reader! Please focus on the specific areas of beginning reading discussed during your child’s Student Reading Improvement Plan (SRIP) meeting.

      • Alabama's Action Plan for Literacy: Birth Through Grade 12

        The Alabama Literacy Act #2019-523 mandated that the Alabama Committee on Grade-Level Reading, as established by the act, revise the 2011 Alabama Action Plan for Literacy: Birth Through Grade 12 in consultation with the Campaign for Grade Level Reading group. This 2020 revision of the Alabama Action Plan for Literacy: Birth Through Grade 12 (2020 AAPL) contains links to the detailed information and literacy resources compiled through this revision process.

        The purpose of the 2020 revision of the Alabama Action Plan for Literacy: Birth Through Grade 12 is to serve as a living document that offers practical action steps and resources for all literacy stakeholders. The resources support high-quality literacy instruction for all learners, Birth through Grade 12. The 2020 AAPL also includes specific expectations for K-3 literacy instruction, assessment, intervention, and professional learning to meet the requirements of the Alabama Literacy Act #2019-523. With the passage of the Alabama Literacy Act (ALA), there is a clear expectation that students must demonstrate sufficient reading skills by the end of third grade in order to be promoted to fourth grade.
