LBJ Women’s Campaign School

The director of TWU's Center for Women in Government stands with members of the 2023 Cohort 4 of the LBJ Campaign School at UT Austin

The Jane Nelson Institute for Women’s Leadership (JNIWL) provides competitive grants covering 100% of the tuition costs for Texas women attending the LBJ Women’s Campaign School (LBJWCS). The LBJWCS is a program at University of Texas Austin that prepares women to run for elected office or become campaign managers regardless of party affiliation.

Women regularly report personal finances as the number one challenge for entering politics. Therefore, the Center for Women in Government at the JNIWL knocks down the financial barriers to training and makes the LBJWCS accessible to Texas women regardless of socioeconomic background. As of 2024, the JNIWL’s Center for Women in Government has provided access to the LBJWCS for 179 women.
