Featured funds
Global Wisconsin Idea Fund
To successfully engage an increasingly interconnected world, we must be prepared to navigate changing global circumstances and embrace new possibilities. International Division programming ensures that Wisconsin students, teachers, and community members are able to engage as global citizens through programming offered on campus and throughout the state. The Global Wisconsin Idea funds supports cultural learning and exploration, teacher and library resources, and education on global issues.
Study Abroad Alumni and Friends Fund
Each year, UW–Madison students from a wide range of disciplines across campus participate in an array of international experiences – from study abroad and internships to field study and service-learning. These experiences have tremendous academic, professional, and personal benefits, particularly fostering the development of global citizenship. The International Division is committed to breaking down financial barriers to make such experiences accessible to more students by offering scholarships – especially for students from underrepresented groups, such as first-time abroad, first-generation college students and STEM majors.
