The purpose of these awards is to support graduate students at the UW-Madison planning to conduct a minimum of 6 weeks of summer fieldwork outside of the United States. These are one-time awards of $3,000 to be used in support of 6 or more weeks of summer fieldwork conducted outside the United States. Time abroad outside the summer months will be considered though applicants should address these circumstances in their statement and should have their advisor address this in their letter of recommendation as well.
Any continuing graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison may apply for these awards. For more information and application materials, visit the IRIS site.
