Yes!
Ryan just mentioned it in todays blog:
We will continue to offer our Alpha Access package. Purchasing that package will be the only way to get the Daily Deal items from the Kickstarter campaign, and it includes free game time throughout all of Early Enrollment no matter how long that phase of development lasts.

Here is a nice overview:
The free access to the entire Early Enrollment period is a pretty nice perk. I think EE is expected to last 1-1.5 years, am I correct in this? This means that instead of having to pay 15 dollars a month for your sub (which will buy you a month of xp for 1 of your characters) you get that for free as long as EE lasts.
The lower pledge tiers give 2-4 months of free game time during EE, and I think you could also buy game-time packages during the Fullfillment phase of the KS, back in May 2013.
Maybe they will offer those again too.
I hope I have all this correct.

Wowzer! I should have rephrased the question to "will there be alpha access offered at a decent price?" 1,000 is pretty crazy!

I believe the latest estimate was 18 months, so yes :)

It was actually usable at any time, not just EE. You can even use a month or two in EE and then save the other months for after OE.

There has been speculation that there might be a number of invites into the α based on community involvement or recommendation from existing testers.
It has been confirmed that the price point of purchased α tests will not be reduced below the price already paid by existing backers.
