In the tradition of the Wisconsin Idea - which declares that education should improve people’s lives beyond the university classroom - fellowships are awarded to projects that enhance student learning while working to solve issues identified by a community.
Fellowships are awarded annually to semester- or year-long projects designed by a UW-Madison undergraduate (or a group of undergraduates) in collaboration with a community organization (whether local, national or international) and a UW-Madison faculty or academic staff mentor. All WIF students are invited to present their work at the Undergraduate Symposium in the spring.
