Since its founding in 1989, The Posse Foundation has partnered with some of this country’s most selective colleges and universities and helped 2,650 students pursue exceptional post-secondary educations. As a result, the hallways and classrooms of these elite gateways to opportunity are increasingly abuzz with a diversity of voices representing the different backgrounds, perspectives and experiences of our great nation.
The Foundation and its partner institutions are not only having a dramatic impact on the lives of Posse Scholars, who take full advantage of the myriad opportunities a first-rate education affords and help to create more inclusive campus communities. Posse and its partners are also leaving their mark on the mothers, fathers, guardians, siblings and other family members who rightfully share in Posse Scholars’ achievements.
For many families, the scholarship represents an unprecedented opportunity to claim a college graduate among them. For others, it marks the continuation of a legacy of extraordinary achievement. For all, it is a moment of immense pride and gratitude.
This year’s annual report features our Scholars and their families, whose sacrifice and hard work are the foundation of these driven young leaders’ success.
