Posse Foundation Scholarship Opportunity
Posse Foundation Scholarship Opportunity
Hello Junior Families!
I want to share an exciting opportunity with you about the Posse Foundation Scholarship. Every year, The Posse Foundation works closely with high schools, like Da Vinci Connect, to recruit students who demonstrate leadership and academic potential to become a Posse Scholar. If selected, a Posse Scholar wins a four-year, full-tuition scholarship to attend one of Posse’s partner colleges or universities:
Bucknell University
Dickinson College
Hobart & Williams Smith College
Kalamazoo College
Middlebury College
Northwestern University
Pepperdine University
Tulane University
University of Wisconsin- Madison
Below are informational materials on the Posse Foundation:

If you would like Connect to consider you as a nominee for the Posse Scholarship and you demonstrate leadership and academic potential, please complete the Posse Foundation Scholarship Nomination Request form by Wednesday, June 11th at 4pm.
Please reach out if you have additional questions!
