Assistantships
There are three types of graduate assistantships on campus: teaching, project, and research assistantships. Programs use their own internal processes to award assistantships to students.
Fellowships
Fellowships are grants that you do not have to pay back. Unlike graduate assistantships, fellowships generally involve no work obligations. There are both campus/departmental and external fellowships.
Research and Travel Grants
This Graduate School competition includes awards for international and domestic travel for eligible UW–Madison dissertators and final year MFA students who are traveling to conduct research supporting their dissertation, thesis or final project.
