Applying to Regular Decision with the Posse Scholarship?

I'm a junior in high school thinking about applying for the Posse Scholarship. Does anyone know if it's possible to still apply as a regular decision candidate to colleges while being considered for the Posse Scholarship?

Yes, you can apply to colleges through the regular decision process while being considered for the Posse Scholarship, but there's one major thing to note. The Posse Scholarship is tied to the schools that partner with the Posse Foundation. If you are chosen as a Posse Scholar, you'll receive a full-tuition scholarship to one of the Posse Foundation's partner schools, and you'll be expected to attend that school.

If you are in the running for the Posse Scholarship, you would need to hold off on making a commitment to another college until the results of the Posse scholarship are announced, which is typically in December. So, while you can apply to other schools through their regular decision process, if you become a Posse Scholar, you'd likely commit to the college that is providing your Posse Scholarship. It's always a good idea to keep your options open, but just remember that becoming a Posse Scholar is a significant honor and financial benefit.

It's essential to keep open and honest communication with the colleges and with the Posse Foundation throughout the process to ensure that everyone is on the same page as to your intentions and commitments.
