Wisconsin Idea Fellowships
The Wisconsin Idea is the driving mission to ensure that the
education and research at UW-Madison is used to benefit communities
beyond our campus borders.
Wisconsin Idea Fellowships are awarded annually to undergraduate student projects working towards solving a challenge identified along with local or global community partner. Fellowships are awarded to semester-long or year-long projects designed by an undergraduate student (or group of students) in collaboration with a community organization and a UW-Madison faculty or academic staff member.
Projects can receive up to $7,000 in total funding and students receive 3 academic credits. Student recipients are also invited to present their work at the Undergraduate Symposium in the spring semester.
On average, 5 – 10 fellowships are awarded every year. Two special fellowships each year are specifically dedicated to social entrepreneurship as well as the opportunity gap in Madison.
Please consider applying for your own Wisconsin Idea Fellowship by the priority deadline, 5:00 p.m. on Jan. 26, or by our final deadline, 5:00 p.m. on Feb. 9.

If
students have any questions about their proposal idea, or about the Wisconsin
Idea Fellowship in general, our graduate mentor, Hannah Stephens, is available
to meet in person or via email now or during winter break. Her hours will
be Monday through Thursday, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm over break. If those
times do not work, please reach out and she will try to accommodate your
schedule. Please contact Hannah at hrstephens@wisc.edu.
*If students would like their proposal reviewed before the final deadline, it
must be submitted by the early review deadline of January 26th at 5:00
pm. Our graduate mentor will return it with comments/feedback within a
week so they can revise and resubmit by our final deadline of February 9th
at 5:00 pm. This step has been very helpful to grant writers, especially if
it is the first time they’ve written a grant!*
