Ed-GRS is a community of graduate students from diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds receiving the Advanced Opportunity Fellowship (AOF) in the School of Education. Ed-GRS offers students a support network of peers and assists students in becoming members of a supportive community of UW–Madison graduate students, faculty, and staff. Ed-GRS is guided by an advisory committee consisting of staff, faculty, and students. With support from the Graduate School and other graduate research scholar communities, the School of Education welcomes our new Ed-GRS fellows and the many students, faculty, and staff who comprise our community.
Eligibility
To determine your eligibility please visit the graduate funding office website.
Nomination Process
Once students have been accepted to one of our graduate programs, a committee of faculty members in each department reviews profiles of eligible applicants and submits a ranked list of nominees to the Ed-GRS director. After the nominations have been approved by the Ed-GRS director, each department contacts the potential fellows directly. Students must accept or decline the offer no later than April 15.
