Miami

To date, Miami Scholars have won $156.3 million scholarship dollars from Miami partner colleges and universities.

History

Posse expanded to Miami thanks to generous gifts from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Florida Department of Education, The Foundation for New Education Initiatives, Inc, The Fortin Foundation of Florida, Inc. and The New World Foundation.

Posse is grateful to the teachers, counselors and community leaders of Miami, who help us identify incredible high school students. We especially thank our partner colleges and universities for their investments in the program and belief in the promise of Posse Scholars.
