How to Apply

The LBJ Women's Campaign School is a nonpartisan program that supports women in politics by training and empowering changemakers to lead in the political arena. Whether you plan to run for office or become a campaign manager, you belong here. Through hands-on training and direct access to experienced political professionals, participants gain practical skills, strategic insights, and the confidence to lead and support women candidates at all levels.

The program will begin on January 16, 2027, with the intention of training potential candidates and campaign staff for the elections of 2027, 2028, and 2029.

Applications are open from August 10, 2026 to September 30, 2026. All applicants will be invited to participate in a 15 minute rolling interview with the Executive Director after submitting their application. The application fee for this program is $50, which will go towards your tuition should you be accepted. This fee supports staff time to review the large number of applicants that we receive.
