Selection Committees
Two selection committees choose Bush Leadership Fellows. The preliminary selection committee chooses finalists after a review of all application forms, references, standardized test results and interview reports. This committee may ask applicants to make themselves available, at their own expense, for a preliminary interview with a representative of the program. The preliminary committee invites finalists to participate, at Foundation expense, in a three-day residential seminar at a conference center. At the seminar, a separate final selection committee interviews finalists and chooses Bush Leadership Fellows
