Arizona College Application Campaign

The Arizona College Application Campaign (AzCAC) is a statewide effort to increase the number of first-generation college students and students from low-income families pursuing a college degree or other higher education credential. Through this program, high schools are stepping up to advise and guide seniors and their families through their college application journey.

AzCAC is designed to encourage schools to support graduating seniors navigate the admissions process and provide students the opportunity to complete at least one college application during the school year. AzCAC can open the door for students by encouraging them to take significant steps toward college in their senior year and ultimately ensure that every student has a chance to reach their potential and bring Arizona closer to 60% postsecondary attainment by 2030.

AzCAC is an initiative of the Arizona Board of Regents and is part of the American College Application Campaign.

The first 100 schools that register to participate in the Arizona College Application Campaign and the Arizona FAFSA Challenge will receive a College Ready AZ toolkit that includes campaign posters, stickers, folders, and pins.
