Amounts awarded to each scholar will depend on the proposed destination, but will most likely cover the cost of airfare. The program is open to students of any nationality who are enrolled in any graduate program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and are planning to spend a summer working as an intern in an organization committed to international social justice. Projects which are related to the Global Studies mission will receive particular attention. The institution or organization with which the student will work should be located outside of the United States. The student should spend a minimum of 10 weeks as an intern.

Application requirements (for Summer 2009 awards):

››› An application form (ms word document);
››› a two- to three-page, double-spaced proposal detailing how an internship experience would fit with applicant's research agenda, future plans and social justice mission, the type of internship the applicant is pursuing (including an initial list of institutions or organizations that may serve as host), and a list of contributions the student plans to make to the organizations;
››› graduate transcripts;
››› two letters of recommendation;
››› demonstration of language competency (if necessary);
››› if necessary, a demonstration of language competency

A complete application packet will consist of three copies of the above returned to the Global Studies office (301 Ingraham Hall) by the application deadline.

Amounts awarded to each scholar will depend on the proposed destination, but will most likely cover the cost of airfare. The program is open to students of any nationality who are enrolled in a doctoral program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and are planning to conduct preliminary dissertation field research related to social justice. Projects which are related to the Global Studies mission will receive particular attention. Students are expected to spend approximately 10 weeks in the field.

Please note that because the UW's Latin American, Caribbean and Iberian Studies Program (LACIS) offers pre-dissertation travel grants for doctoral students interested in conducting research in Spanish or Portuguese-speaking areas, Global Studies does not generally support students working on those parts of the world. Students of these areas are encouraged to apply to LACIS for travel support.

Application requirements (for Summer 2009 awards):

››› An application form (ms word document);
››› preliminary dissertation statement (no more than three pages, double-spaced);
››› proposed itinerary;
››› graduate transcripts;
››› demonstration of language competency (if necessary);
››› two letters of recommendation.

A complete application packet will consist of three copies of the above returned to the Global Studies office (301 Ingraham Hall) by the application deadline.
