Scholar Spotlight: Posse Scholars Selected
We’re thrilled to share that three Class of 2026 LINK Scholars—Chace Martin (Cornell University), Jayla Allen (University of Wisconsin–Madison), and Zuri Joplin (Oberlin College)—have officially been awarded the prestigious Posse Scholarship. Chace, Jayla, and Zuri have earned this full-tuition merit scholarship, awarded to students who demonstrate exceptional leadership, academic promise, and a strong commitment to their communities.
The Posse Foundation’s selection process looks far beyond grades and test scores. Scholars are nominated by LINK to apply and participate in a rigorous, multi-stage
interview process designed to identify students with the potential to thrive in a diverse cohort model. In addition to full-tuition support, Posse Scholars receive intensive pre-college training during their senior year, four years of mentorship from Posse staff, and career guidance throughout college.
Chace, Jayla, and Zuri’s achievement reflects not only their hard work and perseverance but also the power of community, mentorship, and preparation. Each Scholar has credited LINK with helping them build the confidence, leadership skills, and readiness needed to pursue ambitious goals.
Congratulations, Chace, Jayla, and Zuri! We are incredibly proud of you, and we look forward to watching you continue to lead and excel on your respective campuses this fall!
