Posse Scholarship
Scholarship · The Posse Foundation · Posse cities including Atlanta
Full-tuition leadership scholarship for students from Posse cities, who attend partner colleges in groups.
Our take
Full tuition at a partner college, going as a cohort of ten with training and support. Atlanta is a Posse city; ask your counselor about nomination before September.
“Helps an application” is our read on how much an admissions reader is likely to weigh it: Strong means getting in or placing is a real achievement, Solid means it shows real interest and effort, and Light usually means most students who apply and pay can attend. It’s our opinion, not a ranking from any college, and a light one can still be a great summer.
