Grant Socol, he/him

Class of 2027 grant

Grant was born and raised in Bryan, Texas. Less than a mile away from home, Grant attended Texas A&M University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Political Science in 2024. During his time at the Sanford School of Public Policy, he hopes to implement the quantitative skills he learned while earning his Bachelor of Science and simultaneously further his analytical training taught through a variety of coursework. While earning his bachelor’s degree, Grant served on several local and statewide campaigns in his home state of Texas. Additionally, he was accepted into a six-month internship in Austin during his state’s 88th legislative session. It was there that Grant commuted daily between the offices of various elected officials and his own at the Texas A&M University System Office of State Relations. The time that he spent in that role gave him an invaluable perspective regarding government policy and the passing of legislation. Whether it’s in the public or private sector, Grant wants to employ the analytical and critical-thinking skills taught at the Sanford School to help solve problems entrenched in the world of public policy.
