The George & Barbara Bush Foundation generously provides annual travel grants to Texas A&M undergraduates.

The Office of Undergraduate Studies facilitates educational travel opportunities for full-time undergraduates in amounts up to $750 per student. Grants support travel to academic conferences, research projects or study, and internships or study in the United States or abroad.

Announcements detailing grant availability are made each fall by colleges. 

For questions or details, contact Jacob Miller at jacobmiller@tamu.edu.

Instructions for students:

Applicants must complete a George & Barbara Bush Foundation Travel Grant Application. You should submit the grant to your department head in your major (e.g. if you are in Biology, send it to the department head for Biology). Your application will be reviewed by the department. If it is selected to move forward, it will then be reviewed by the college, who will forward it to Undergraduate Studies for processing. 

If you are chosen as a nominee for the grant, you will be notified via email and physical mail before the university closes for the Winter Break. You will not receive a notification if your application was not selected.

Travel must take place in the associated calendar year, not fiscal or academic year. For example, if you apply in Fall 2025, this means that your travel must be scheduled to occur sometime between January 1, 2026 and December 31, 2026. 

If you have received the grant and your travel plans change for any reason (conference is cancelled, inclement weather, etc.), contact Jacob Miller at jacobmiller@tamu.edu.
