Lewis & Clark Welcomes First Class of Posse Scholars

In 2010, President Barack Obama donated a portion of his $1.4 million Nobel Prize award to the Posse Foundation, one of 10 organizations he chose to recognize. Lewis & Clark is partnering with the Posse Foundation to provide mentoring and full-tuition scholarships to exceptional students from diverse backgrounds. The inaugural cohort—10 students from the Washington, D.C., area—will arrive on campus this fall.

Thank you to everyone who participated in LC Day of Giving!

Gifts made by alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff, and friends of LC raised more than $265,000 in support of all three campuses. Our anonymous donors were so inspired by the outpouring of love and support shown for LC in this difficult time. Even though we didn’t reach our goal, they’re donating their $200,000 in honor of those efforts. In total, that’s over $465,000 in support of all that we love about LC. See the results for our on-campus special challenges.
