4 District High School Seniors Named ’24 Posse Scholars

Disponible en:

Aldine ISD congratulates seniors Valeria Córdova, Karolynn Figueroa, Jayla Palmer, and Tori White, who have been named Posse Scholars. Among 1,100 students nominated in Houston, they are among the 52 scholars selected. Each will be going to college on a full ride for four years. 

The Posse Foundation selects students with extraordinary leadership potential to receive full-tuition leadership scholarships from Posse’s partner colleges and universities. The chosen students are leaders in their school and community who are ambitious and talented individuals interested in teamwork and diversity.

The scholarship application process is lengthy: the assessment takes place over four months and includes two 3-4 hour group interviews, writing samples, an online application, and an individual interview.

It is open to students of all backgrounds. The Posse model is rooted in the belief that a small, diverse group of talented students, “a Posse,” can catalyze individual and community development. Posse’s primary aim is to train these leaders of tomorrow. As the United States becomes an increasingly multicultural society, Posse believes that the leaders of the 21st century should reflect the country’s rich demographic mix.

Valeria attends Eisenhower High School, Karolynn and Jayla are seniors at Victory Early College High School, and Tori will graduate from Nimitz High School this spring.
