Former Lt Gov Of Texas Ben Barnes

Ben Barnes' love affair with education began when he entered college. He bounced around between a few different schools before settling on the University of Texas at Austin. It was there he earned his degree in business administration, a key tool that has aided him throughout his life. He attended the University of Texas law school for a short time before answering his calling as a politician. Engaging in a political lifestyle was a ways to an educational means. Ben Barnes said this about the value of education: "Graduate education and research will be our avenues to continued and increased prosperity. That means a major commitment, with major incentives, to recruit and educate world-class students."

LBJ School Dean, Ed Dorn backed up the decision to create the Ben Barnes Fellowship : "Ben Barnes did more for education in Texas than virtually any other state political leader. This endowment recognizes his continuing commitment to producing the leaders our state will need in the 21st century."
