The Hilldale Undergraduate/Faculty Research Fellowships and Holstrom Environmental Scholarships support undergraduate research done in collaboration with UW–Madison faculty or research/instructional academic staff.
Approximately 105 Hilldale, and 5 Holstrom, awards are available each year. The student researcher receives $3,000, and faculty/staff research advisor receives $500 to help offset research costs (e.g., supplies, faculty or student travel related to the project). At time of application research mentors can ask for up to an additional $500 (up to $1,000 total) under the following exceptional circumstances: (1) if the proposed project represents new or independent student research, (2) the lab receives no external grant support, (3) the mentor plans to use the funds to send or accompany student on travel related to project. If projects have more than one student or one faculty member together, the stipend levels will vary.
