Student Life

Posse Foundation Scholarship winner

Ten students from nine Prince George's County Public Schools were awarded $1 million in scholarships this month. The Posse Foundation, a college-preparation organization that recruits and trains public school students from throughout the county, gave $100,000 four-year, full-tuition scholarships to each student.

Twenty-nine county students have received nearly $3 million in scholarships from the foundation since 2005. Twenty-eight colleges nationwide partnered with the foundation to provide at least $100,000 in scholarships to participants.
