The Hilldale Undergraduate/Faculty Research Fellowships and Holstrom Environmental Research Fellowships support undergraduate research done in collaboration with UW-Madison faculty or research/instructional academic staff. Eligibility Criteria: Applicants must have at least a junior standing at time of application and be planning to graduate after May of the application year. Apply spring semester to fund work on the project during the summer or following academic year. Must be in good academic and disciplinary standing to apply. How to Apply: Applicants must submit a 5-page project proposal, letter of recommendation and transcript. Selection criteria: Evidence of the student’s intellectual contribution to the research (may include, but is not limited to, student’s contribution of preliminary data to the proposed project); significance of the research (originality, impact on the field); degree of meaningful collaboration with a faculty research mentor; extent to which research objective is achievable within the proposed timeline (may also include evaluation of the student’s academic record). Award Information: The student researcher receives a stipend, and faculty/staff research advisor receives a stipend for costs associated with the research (e.g., supplies, faculty or student travel related to the project). If projects have more than one student or one faculty member together, the stipend levels will vary. Approximately 100 Hilldale Fellowships are awarded each year.
