Planned Giving

The Posse Varsity Circle is a special group of donors who have made an extraordinary commitment to supporting the next generation of young leaders through their estate plans.

The Varsity Circle was inspired by longtime donor and former board chair Tim Ubben, who heartily encouraged other donors and board members to “make Posse your varsity charity, like I did.” The foresight of Varsity Circle members helps to advance Posse’s work across the country and makes a lasting impact on Posse’s efforts to train and support the leaders of tomorrow.

When you plan ahead, it makes a difference. Your contribution allows Posse to continue to recruit and support high-achieving young people with tremendous leadership potential. It helps Posse maintain its partnerships with 60-plus top-tier colleges and universities that award full-tuition, merit-based scholarships to Posse Scholars.

Your bequest helps to ensure Posse’s continued impact—on students, institutions, and society at large—well into the future.
