A few weeks ago, we introduced our Envision friends and supporters to Ron Thompson with this postcard. He is another of our college bound seniors, and this week, he, his family, and the Envision community are celebrating some great news:Next fall, Ron will be attending Boston University with a four-year, full tuition Posse Foundation scholarship! This competitive award recognizes Ron’s academic excellence, his strong leadership capacity, and his commitment to hard work. For Ron, who will be a first generation college graduate, going to college is all about opening new doors for himself and making his parents proud. Today, he has made all of us very proud to know and celebrate him.
Since 1989, the Posse Foundation has identified, recruited and trained 6,993 public high school students with extraordinary academic and leadership potential to become Posse Scholars; college students in this leadership group graduate at a rate of 90 percent and make a visible difference on their campuses and throughout their professional careers.
Please join us in congratulating Ron for his selection and the Posse Foundation for choosing this bright young scholar! And a big thank you to all of our friends and supporters: your generosity helps make stories like Ron’s possible.
