WDSU Spotlight: Son of Saint, Felipe’s Scholarship Program
NOCCA is proud to announce that NOCCA student Javier Castellon had been selected as recipient of the Posse Foundation Scholarship. Javier Castellon is a NOCCA full-day academic student studying Media Arts.
The Posse Foundation awards students full-tuition scholarships to partner colleges such as Case Western Reserve University, Illinois Wesleyan University, Tulane University, University of Notre Dame and Villanova University. In addition to tuition, students are provided with a number of support systems referred to as their ‘posse.’
“NOCCA is proud to celebrate Javier who has demonstrated talent, effort, and incredible potential during his time with us,” stated NOCCA President | CEO Kyle Wedberg. “NOCCA is grateful to Posse for the continued leadership and all of the partner school for the investment in the next generation of leaders on not only their campuses, but for all of us. Joy is needed now more than ever and NOCCA is grateful for the opportunity to celebrate this outstanding Senior.”
Students selected for this award are nominated by their high schools then are evaluated through an intensive interview process. Students must exemplify high academic potential and leadership qualities.
In the Fall of 2021, through the Posse Scholarship, Javier will be attending Case Western University.
About Posse
The Posse model works for both students and college campuses and is rooted in the belief that a small diverse group of talented students – a Posse- carefully selected and trained, can serve as a catalyst for increased individual and community development. Posse believes that the leaders of this new century should reflect the country’s rich demographic mix. One of the primary aims of the Posse Program is to train the leaders of tomorrow.
