University and Federal Financial Aid

Fellowships

Students are eligible to compete for UW-Madison fellowships. The department has a small number of teaching and project assistantships. In addition students in Educational Policy Studies are frequently successful in competing for assistantships on professors’ research grants through the Wisconsin Center for Education Research and other research organizations on campus, as well as for administrative assistantships and for teaching assistantships in related departments. University assistantships of at least one third time routinely provide tuition remission (except for segregated fees), medical insurance, and a stipend.

Several kinds of special awards are also available. These include Vilas Fellowships limited to holders of University of Wisconsin degrees, international doctoral student travel grants, Advanced Opportunity Fellowship (AOF) for minority students, and E. B. Fred Fellowships for returning adult students. For more complete information on financial aid check the EPS bulletin board or the Graduate School Fellowship Office.
