UW-Madison Graduate Student Scholarship

at the University of Warwick, United Kingdom

Please check with Fellowships Office about this program.

As part of an exchange agreement, the University of Warwick will offer two awards for the 200-200 academic year to University of Wisconsin-Madison students for study at the University of Warwick. Graduate students will follow an independent research program under the guidance of a Warwick senior faculty member. Applicants must be enrolled in a University of Wisconsin-Madison doctoral program; the competition is open to US citizens and international students. Preference will be given to dissertators. Graduate students who have not yet passed preliminary examinations for the Ph.D. also will be considered. The award is not tenable for use after a terminal Master's Degree. In 2008-2009 the awards would pay Warwick fees and a stipend of approximately £9,150 (based on the current stipend level). The award would also pay UW-Madison dissertator fees. Recipients will have to purchase CISI insurance at a cost of about $300 for the year. There is also a fee for a UK entry visa. Personal funds may be needed in addition to the stipend to cover travel, accommodations, meals, books and incidentals.  Free housing is possible for one of the scholars in the graduate residence dormitory, in exchange for services to the UW-Madison undergraduate study abroad program at Warwick. Interested candidates should apply to the Fellowships Office, 328 Ingraham Hall.

The application deadline is TBA. The application must include a two-page summary statement describing the research to be pursued at Warwick, an up to date curriculum vitae, a letter of support from the major advisor endorsing the candidacy, plus one other letter of support, and undergraduate and graduate transcripts (these can be copies as long as they are clearly legible). Letters of affiliation (individual or institutional) from Warwick are also helpful. To review University of Warwick graduate offerings go to http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/. Applicants will be interviewed by a faculty committee; the interview will take place in March.
