Our Community
In addition to funding, Ed-GRS offers its fellows with 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 overseen by an advisory committee whose members include faculty members, administrators, and a graduate student. Ed-GRS is a part of a larger community of GRS programs at UW-Madison, including
the Graduate Engineering Research Scholars,
Community of Graduate Research Scholars,
and Science and Medicine Graduate Research Scholars.
