Wisconsin Distinguished Graduate Fellowships
Overview
The Wisconsin Distinguished Graduate Fellowship (WDGF) program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison was created in 1997 through the foresight and generosity of three major partners: the University of Wisconsin Foundation, Wisconsin Alumni Foundation (WARF), and alumni donors. The Graduate School is responsible for general oversight of the program. WDGFs within the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS) are coordinated through designated departments.
