REQUEST FROM ALABAMA TRANSFERS OFFICE TO SEEK ADDITIONAL FUNDING IN 2026-2027
Facilitated by Keith Sessions (AL Transfers)Request for Additional Funding for 2026–2027
For the fiscal year 2024–2025, the AGSC/Alabama Transfers program received funding of approximately $799,000, with the same amount allocated for 2025–2026. We propose increasing the funding to $999,000 for the 2026–2027 fiscal year to support the following initiatives:
Continuation of the in-person Annual ACHIEVE Conference.
Expansion of our partnership with EdVisorly to onboard 3–5 additional institutions, contingent on the success of the ongoing pilot program.
Exploration of hiring an additional staff member to support succession planning efforts.
We request that the AGSC membership review and endorse this funding proposal if deemed appropriate.
