Pratt Young Scholars is a need-based, three-year scholarship providing instruction in art and design with college preparation to motivated high school students.

Posse Foundation Scholarship Interest Meeting

Know a rising senior attending a NYC public or private school who should be nominated for this four-year full tuition scholarship?  

Posse is looking for its next group of talented Scholars: motivated, dynamic, actively engaged students who believe they belong at the nation's best colleges and universities.  I have the pleasure of nominating students for this program on behalf of Brooklyn, Jack and Jill.

Interest Meeting: Monday, May 23rd @ 6PM (RSVP to cbobbsemple@gmail.com for location details)

*Posse started because of one student who said, "I never would have dropped out of college if I had my Posse with me."  That simple idea, of sending a group (posse or 'squad' in today's parlance) of students together to college so they could back each other up," became the impetus for a program that today has sent thousands of students to top colleges and universities throughout the United States.
