George W. Bush Presidential Center
Presidential Leadership Scholars
Developing a generation of leaders focused on solving society’s most challenging issues.
We’re bringing together leaders from across the nonprofit, military, public, and private sector fields to produce bold and principled leaders who are committed to solving our greatest challenges, both domestically and across the world.
Throughout its history, the United States has been a vibrant Nation with talented leaders confronting its toughest problems. Today, we need a new generation of champions who come together to make significant contributions in the communities where they live, work, and volunteer.
The future will be owned by leaders who, despite their differences, are willing to engage in the difficult job of finding real solutions.
The Presidential Leadership Scholars program draws on the strengths and resources of the George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Lyndon B. Johnson presidential centers. Diverse midcareer professionals hone their leadership abilities through interactions with former presidents, key administration officials, leading academics, and business leaders.
