IRIS:
The Institute for Regional and
International Studies (IRIS) is once again offering "International
Research and Training Grants for Incoming Graduate Students" to campus
units for 2021.
The purpose of these grants is to
recruit strong incoming graduate students who will at some point in their
graduate training require a period of international fieldwork or development of
language or cultural competence off the UW-Madison campus.
These are grants of $5,000 to be
used early in the recipient's career at the UW-Madison.
Details on the award &
application process are available on IRIS's website at:
http://iris.wisc.edu/funding/campus-units/incoming-grad-awards/
Please note that there
have been changes made to nominating eligibility & numbers for the current
cycle. Review the posted materials closely.
Any UW-Madison academic program
that admits graduate students (included on the Graduate School’s website @ https://grad.wisc.edu/academic-programs/ as a
guide) may nominate one incoming graduate student. Application is at the
program, not plan, level; any questions regarding eligibility should be
directed to awards@iris.wisc.edu
All nominations must be received
by 10am on February 15, 2021; we will endeavor to notify units of
decisions by the end of February.
Please see the web page - http://iris.wisc.edu/funding/campus-units/incoming-grad-awards/ - for more complete information. An information sheet and a
nomination form are also attached to this message. If you have additional
questions, please email me at awards@iris.wisc.edu.

The Graduate School has launched a new, searchable database of external funding opportunities for graduate students to help you find funding opportunities from external federal agencies, professional organizations, and private foundations. The database contains dozens of fellowships, many of which UW-Madison graduate students have received in past years. You can search specific fellowships, filter results by disciplinary division or demographics, or browse the database to discover new opportunities. Explore the fellowships database here.CCWT:
CCWT is sponsoring an additional webinar
series, Supporting Higher Education and Career Success for Refugees in
Wisconsin. This is an important and relevant topic, and we are looking forward
to some fascinating discussions and engagement with knowledgeable scholars and
practitioners, and to a panel discussion with college students with refugee
background.
Please consider participating in this series. The attached PDF has the links to register.
