Posse Foundation Scholarship

The Posse Foundation Scholarship is a full-tuition undergraduate scholarship that identifies high school students with leadership potential and places them in supportive cohorts (“Posses”) at partner colleges and universities in the United States. Scholars receive leadership development, mentorship, pre-collegiate training, ongoing academic and social support, and networking and career-development opportunities. The programme relies on nominations from participating high schools or community-based organisations and includes a local selection process prior to placement at a partner institution.

Full tuition coverage at a Posse partner college or university; leadership development opportunities; mentorship and support programs; pre-collegiate training sessions; ongoing academic and social support; networking and career development opportunities.

Be a high school senior at the time of nomination; be in the first term of senior year when nominated; receive a nomination from a participating high school or community-based organization; demonstrate leadership and academic potential; satisfy admission requirements of the partner college or university; meet local Posse office deadlines and participate in the Posse selection process.

Confirm whether your high school or a community organization participates and obtain a nomination; contact the local Posse office for timelines and requirements; complete nomination materials and documentation; participate in interviews and assessment activities as required; receive placement consideration and complete college admission and enrollment procedures.
