The Foundation is interested in education at all levels from early childhood through higher
education. Our concentration is on higher education. Approximately 90 percent of our grant
support for education is given through specific higher education programs to strengthen
three sets of fully accredited colleges:
| |
 |
undergraduate colleges and universities in Minnesota and the Dakotas. |
| |
|
historically black private colleges through grants to The College Fund/UNCF. |
| |
|
fully accredited tribally controlled colleges throughout the United States. |
These programs include support for faculty development and, in the case of regional institutions, capital projects. See instructions below.

The Bush Foundation also supports programs that seek to improve the quantity and quality of mathematics and science education available to girls and minority students, and to encourage collaboration among mathematics and science education programs for girls and minorities in Minnesota and the Dakotas. This Foundation interest developed from a review of research that showed that women are likely to select a more narrow range of occupations than men, that these occupations are lower-paying, and that a significant number of higher-paying careers are not pursued by women because these careers require mathematics and science preparation that women and minority students often have not had.
A limited number of grants each year support other education programs in Minnesota and the Dakotas.
The Foundation requires Letters of Inquiry before grant proposals can be submitted.
