His campus and System involvement figured prominently in his selection as a recipient of the first Charles C. Butt, Mr. South Texas 1996 Scholarship. Sanchez said he is honored to have been selected for the Bush Fellowship and especially appreciates the financial support he has received from the Laredo community. The Master of Public Service and Administration degree program at the George Bush School of Government and Public Service is a demanding two year, intense program of study. Students are expected to pursue their studies on a full-time basis, carrying twelve graduate credit hours per semester, with a summer internship after the completion of the first year. To this end, the Bush School seeks to minimize the need for students to work outside the program while in school.
Financial assistance is available to qualified students.
The George H. W. Bush Fellowships are the centerpiece of this scholarship program and were established as a tribute to the 41st President of the United States. He and Mrs. Bush will interact with the recipients on several special occasions during the academic year acknowledging the Fellows' high achievement.
