Act 2023-539 (Re)Engage Alabama Grant Program

In 2023, the Alabama Legislature approved the appropriation of $4.5 million to benefit
students who had earned some college credit and met given criteria to start spring 2024.
In 2024, the legislature approved another $4.5 million appropriation to extend financial
assistance to more qualified students. The (Re)Engage Alabama Grant Program seeks to
remove academic and financial barriers that often prevent adults from reengaging in the
academic process and completing their degrees. By aligning specific programs of study
with Alabama’s high-wage, high-demand occupations identified by the Alabama
Committee on Credentialing and Career Pathways (ACCCP), Alabama residents have new
means to enhance their career opportunities and enrich the workforce of Alabama.
