This year’s list of 24 Bush Fellows is out, and nineteen are from Minnesota. The St. Paul-based Bush Foundation announced this year’s Fellows on Tuesday.

Their focus areas range from economic empowerment for disadvantaged communities to culturally specific support for Latine families of cancer patients.

The selected individuals “represent transformational leaders with deep love for their communities,” said Adora Land, Bush Foundation’s grantmaking director, in a news release. “We are excited to be a part of their leadership journey as they continue to have greater influence and change within our region.”

Over the next couple of years, each Fellow will receive a $100,000 grant to put toward their leadership plan, which could mean earning a degree, attending conferences, working with mentors, and more.

The Fellows were chosen from 582 applicants who shared the impact they would like to have and how they would use the Bush Fellowship to bring their vision to life. The program is open to residents over the age of 24 from Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and the 23 Native nations within those states.

The Bush Foundation was founded in 1953 by former 3M employee Archibald Bush and his wife Edyth Bush.
