The SLA Program is pleased to announce the second round of competition for UW-Madison Graduate School Fellowships for Spring and Summer 2026.
All current SLA majors (dissertators and non-dissertators) in good standing are invited to submit applications.
The Graduate School Fellowship covers
- a stipend totaling $14,578 per 4½-month semester (2025-26 rates). Summer fellowship totals $8,909 in Summer 2026.
- payment of all tuition and segregated fees during the fellowship period, and
- eligibility for health insurance during the fellowship period.
Because these fellowships are awarded to allow students to work on their studies full-time, the committee will prioritize applicants who do not have other funding and will not hold other positions while on fellowship. However, all applicants will be considered, and all students are encouraged to apply.
To apply for the Fellowship, submit your application materials to Jana Martin by 5:00 pm Friday, October 31, 2025.
The application should include the following:
- Spring and Summer 2026 Fellowship Application
- Curriculum vitae
- A short statement (maximum 250 words) from your advisor assessing your progress. The advisor should email the statement directly to Jana.
Fellowship applications will be reviewed by the Steering Committee at their November 5 meeting. Decisions will be made based on the academic merit of the application, the student’s progress to date in the program, and prior funding history.
For questions about this competition or the fellowships, please contact Jana Martin, Program Coordinator, or K.D. Thompson, Program Director.
