Eligibility and Nomination Process

Once students have been accepted to one of our graduate programs, a committee of faculty members in each department reviews profiles of eligible applicants and submits a ranked list of nominees to the Ed-GRS director. Once the nominations have been approved by the Ed-GRS director, each department will contact the potential fellows directly. Students must accept or decline the offer no later than April 15.

Professional Development Opportunities

Ed-GRS offers its fellows opportunities for professional development, networking, community building, and connecting with faculty members. Through Ed-GRS, students are members of a supportive community of UW–Madison graduate students, faculty, and staff in the School of Education. Ed-GRS is a part of a larger community of GRS programs at UW–Madison.
