Posse Foundation identifies, recruits and trains individuals with extraordinary leadership potential. We are so proud of these seniors - they are driven and excelled!

For the first time in a long time, we have TWO Posse Scholars and we are thrilled for them and their families. It was a competitive process amongst hundreds of other students from the nation. Congratulations to them - they worked so hard!

Senior, Jasmin, receives a College Scholarship!

Congratulations to one of our seniors, Jasmin Luna! She was nominated and awarded a scholarship by the Coalition of Women’s Initiatives in Law. Jasmin is a driven student with an interest in pursuing a Law degree and these women attorneys want to support her education. She was invited to speak at a reception where she shared more of her goals for the future and took the time to thank the women who believe in her.

She shared. "All those experiences of injustice in my community and throughout the world opened my eyes to want to pursue a career in law. I want to become a lawyer to advise and be the voice that represents disenfranchised people. They have been overlooked for too long and I am not willing to stay still and observe how their rights are neglected."

The audience of 100+ guests loved hearing more of Jasmin's aspirations. 

We are extremely proud of Jasmin!
