An Interview with Briyant Frimpong,

Brandeis Posse Scholarship Recipient


On January 10th, Michael Morales from LION’s Development and Marketing team sat down for an interview with LION senior Briyant Frimpong. Briyant is the 5th LION Posse Scholar in the history of our school. The Posse Scholarship is also the second award Briyant has received this school year (see “A Special Roar Out to Our Academic Leaders at LION”). The Posse Foundation identifies and trains “positive, talented, motivated, and ambitious young people” through the formation of Posses, supportive, multicultural groups of 10 scholars. Each Posse Scholar is matched with a partner college, which provides them with mentoring and full-tuition leadership scholarships. Posse Scholars must be nominated by their school and demonstrate both academic potential and leadership in their school, community, or family. Posse Scholars have a 90% college graduation rate!
