Bush Foundation Fellowships

The Bush Foundation fellowship program is designed to provide an opportunity for individuals in the foundation's service area (MN, SD, ND) to increase their capacity for and improve their practice of leadership while working with others to solve tough problems in their communities. Fellowships will provide support ranging from $25,000 to $75,000 over two years based on the plan the applicant proposes. In addition to the two years of funding, fellows also commit to engage with the foundation to advance its goal of building leadership capacity within its defined geographic region for two more years immediately following the end of their fellowship. Fellows will not be required to take a leave of absence from their employment in order to pursue the fellowship.

For the 2012-13 fellowship program, applicants must choose one of three deadline dates: March 2, May 4, or July 9, 2012. Each deadline has a corresponding fellowship start date.
