Deadline: October 15, 2024
Applications are open for the Bush Fellowship Program 2025. The Bush Fellowship is an investment in people and their capacity to do more good for the region — and it’s super flexible. Fellows come from all sectors, including business, nonprofit, and government.
Fellows have a vision for radical change they see is needed in — and informed by — their community. To pursue that change, they have a clear idea of how to design a Fellowship plan that helps them bring their ideas to life. The Fellowship is not about working on a project, it’s about your personal growth as a leader.

Bush Fellows are committed to leading equitably to create large-scale change. They have influence with a proven track record of making good change happen. They are experienced problem solvers, able to get results. They are sought after for help, advice, connections and inspiration. They bring in wide-ranging perspectives to help inform and make decisions. They don’t let obstacles stop them. They make mistakes and learn from them. They generously share what they know and help others grow as leaders.

- Up to 30 Bush Fellows are selected to receive up to $150,000 over two years to grow their capacity, knowledge and network to lead.
