It just became easier for women living in Texas to prepare to run for elected office.
Any Texas woman who enrolls in the next cohort of the LBJ Women's Campaign School, a training program at the University of Texas at Austin for potential candidates and campaign managers, will now be able to attend for free.
Amy Kroll, the founder and executive director of the LBJ Women's Campaign School, said the Texas Woman's University Center for Women in Politics and Public Policy will provide full tuition scholarships, meaning the third cohort will be free for Texans. The grants total $87,500 and will cover the cost for 50 applicants to attend.
