Applications Closed for 2020-2021 Academic Year
In 1980 Energy Analysis and Policy (EAP) became a graduate certificate program at UW–Madison, thanks largely to the efforts of Prof. John Steinhart (Geology) and Prof. George Bunn (Law). As a legacy to his commitment to the program, George Bunn established the EAP Bunn Fellowship, allowing the best EAP students from any major field of study to receive an academic year of financial support towards their education and research.

The Bunn Fellowship…changed the course of my career. I’m now working to change the energy efficiency landscape in Wisconsin, and loving it. I would not be where I am today without Bunn.

It gave me the chance to focus on the energy analysis program right away and finish most of the EAP courses in the first year, which left more time to research and take advantage of other opportunities throughout the rest of my program even after the fellowship year had ended.

The Bunn Fellowship has been essential for the flexibility to gather skills and experience outside of what would have otherwise been possible.
