The Posse Foundation could not exist without the support of its partner colleges and universities. These institutions have awarded $1 billion in leadership scholarships to Posse scholars across the country.
The UW–Madison Posse program thrives with the support of a number of individuals who continue to make generous contributions to scholar success. Thanks to our donors, we have been able to fund study abroad programs, summer courses that assist with progress to graduation, and more.
Giving Opportunities
Gifts to the Posse Fund, which supports Posse student scholarships can benefit those leaders of tomorrow. Gifts may be named in honor of donors or their loved ones. Endowment gifts, also named, are encouraged to help ensure the long-term viability of the program. Gifts at this level provide support for a scholarship in perpetuity, and allow generations of students to realize their educational goals.
