Duration
24 months
Description
Since 1989, The Posse Foundation has used a cohort-based leadership model to help over 14,000 high-achieving urban students excel at selective colleges. The program maintains a 90 percent college completion rate, with 55 percent of scholars being first-generation students and 78 percent of alumni reporting upward economic mobility within ten years of graduation. Building on previous Carnegie support that codified Posse’s STEM program and expanded its university network, the current investment will enable Posse to partner with eight partner institutions of higher education serving high numbers of Pell recipients to ensure that Posse scholars have access to these mobility engine schools. These resources will help support the admission of up to 160 students from diverse backgrounds and ensure that these mobility engine schools can continue to improve postsecondary outcomes for low-income students.
