Goals of The Posse Foundation
Posse has three goals designed to address some critical issues of importance to institutions of higher education in the United States today:
- To expand the pool from which top colleges and universities can recruit outstanding young leaders from diverse backgrounds.
- To help these institutions build more interactive campus environments so that they can become more welcoming institutions for people from all backgrounds.
- To ensure that Posse Scholars persist in their academic studies and graduate so they can take on leadership positions in the workforce.
