The 2018-19 Student Research Grants Competition (SRGC) is open now for UW–Madison graduate students seeking financial support to present at a conference or to travel and conduct research. For the upcoming academic year, the Graduate School received a generous allocation from the Vilas Trust, one of the primary supporters of the SRGC competition, providing over $1 million in travel funding for graduate students. It’s the largest allocation the Vilas Trust has ever provided the Graduate School for travel awards.
