We believe that leadership can come from anywhere — and that when leaders grow, communities thrive. The Bush Fellowship invests in changemakers who are already making a difference, giving them the time, resources and freedom to grow their impact even more. It’s designed to help leaders become the best versions of themselves so they can spark bigger, bolder change in their communities.

If you or someone you know is ready to explore a Bush Fellowship, the moment is here: Applications for the 2026 Bush Fellowship open on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, and close on Tuesday, October 7, 2025. 

Up to 30 Fellows will each receive $150,000 to support their self-designed leadership plan. Leaders from all sectors — including business, nonprofit, and government — are welcome to apply.
