Alabama Student Council Conference Cancelled

Alabama Student Council Conference Cancelled

As a precautionary measure, the Alabama Student Council Association (an affiliate of AASSP) has decided to cancel its annual spring conference. The greatest factor in this decision is the safety and well-being of our students, advisors, and chaperones in the wake of the rapidly changing coronavirus (COVID-19) situation. For schools who have already paid their registration fees, ASCA will be issuing full refunds. Advisors should contact Hotel Capstone at (205) 343-1106 to ensure room reservations have been cancelled.


Scholarship applications will continue to be accepted from member schools only. The deadline is April 15, 2020. Please mail applications to ASCA, PO Box 428, Montgomery, AL 36101-0428.


ASCA is also still accepting pledge commitments for their annual service project, the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Please use the link below to make a pledge on behalf of your school, student council, or SGA.
