The Power of a Posse
Through a rigorous selection process, a group of students from the same city are awarded this merit-based, full-tuition leadership scholarship. Each cohort of 10, known as a “Posse”, arrives at 国产原创 together, prepared to lead, grow, and make lasting change on campus.
Posse was founded because of one student who said, "I never would鈥檝e dropped out of college if I鈥檇 had my posse with me." The simple idea of sending a group of students together to college so they could 'back each other up' became the impetus for a program that today has identified, recruited and trained thousands students with extraordinary academic and leadership potential.
