The Posse program is aimed at public high school students who have extraordinary academic and leadership potential who may have been overlooked within the traditional college selection process. Posse programs are located in eight regions of the country with scholarships offered by 38 colleges and universities.

Once on campus Posse scholars create multicultural teams—called Posses. The students receive guidance, provide support to one another and serve in important leadership roles.

Nearly 1,600 students were awarded Posse scholarships nationwide; just 61 to students in Washington, D.C.-area schools.
