Puerto Rico

To date, Scholars have won $9 million scholarship dollars from Posse Puerto Rico Program partner colleges and universities.

History

The launch of Posse Puerto Rico was made possible in partnership with Lin-Manuel and Luis Miranda.

Posse is grateful to the teachers, counselors and community leaders of Puerto Rico, 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.
