Announcing New H. E. Butt Foundation Policy Fellowship Opportunity in San Antonio

San Antonio, TX, March 12, 2024 – The H. E. Butt Foundation is pleased to announce a two-year Public Policy Fellowship position that will begin July 1, 2024. This is an exciting opportunity for a recent master’s level graduate seeking hands-on experience impacting state level policy through research, education, and networking. The Fellow will work closely with an experienced mentor at the Foundation and participate in Hogg Foundation’s Policy Academy. The Fellowship includes high-capacity experiences in networking and direct contact with legislators, their staff members, various coalitions, research organizations, and state agency staffers. Located in the San Antonio office of the H. E. Butt Foundation, the position requires frequent travel to Austin.

Policy is an important component in changing systems that directly impact the well-being of Texans, and policy concentrations will be aligned with the values of the H. E. Butt Foundation.
