AVAAS NOMINATES STUDENTS TO POSSE FOUNDATION

$100,000 Scholarship Opportunity/Posse Foundation

for Rising 12th grade students

 

For the past three years, Lyle Jackson has nominated African American students to the Posse Foundation. Those students, who are recruited / chosen from the nominations, each receive a $100,000.00 scholarship, regardless of parental income to seven select top colleges outside of the Los Angeles area.

 

Lyle has nominated the most African American students in the Los Angeles area who have received this scholarship. Eight previous nominees from the past three years have been awarded this scholarship and are currently attending one of the Posse selected colleges. 

 

This year the universities are Bucknell University, Dickinson College, Grinnell College, Kalamazoo College, Tulane University, UC Berkeley, University of Wisconsin, Madison. Clink on the links above to learn more about the Posse Foundation colleges they partner with. Please make sure the prospective student has an interest in one of the above colleges by reviewing their websites, prior to my nomination  

  

I am requesting that all students view the POSSE FOUNDATION website at www.possefoundation.org  and any of the seven specific college websites to see whether or not there is an interest in attending any of the aforementioned colleges/universities.

 

 Posse Foundation first needs to receive the nomination from me. Once the nomination is received you will need to contact them directly at 213-239-9590 to sign up for Posse Foundation Open House. If you have any questions about Posse Foundation, please visit their website at www.possefoundation.org  or call them directly at 213-239-9590. You may call me directly if need to speak with me specifically about a student, I can be reached at 818-448-0260”.....Sincerely, Lyle Jackson
