Energy Analysis & Policy Student Travel Scholarships

Thanks to a generous gift from Wes and Ankie Foell, the Energy Analysis and Policy (EAP) program is pleased to offer travel scholarships for new students enrolling in the EAP program.

EVERY* new student who joins the EAP program in 2026 will receive a travel scholarship, which they can apply to a high-impact group travel opportunity, known as EAP Delegations. Past EAP Delegations have included trips to San Francisco, Chicago, Arizona, Colorado, and North Carolina.

Students who apply early will get first choice of an EAP Delegation opportunity when the line-up is announced in late summer 2026.

(*Up to the first 20 new students)

Eligibility
  • To be eligible for the scholarship, simply apply to join the EAP program. An unofficial transcript, a résumé, and a short essay are required for the application form.
  • Students in almost any graduate degree program at the University of Wisconsin—Madison who are eligible to enroll in EAP are thus also eligible for this award. Check with your graduate coordinator to ensure you are able to enroll in a certificate program.
  • Selected graduate students must enroll in EAP and make progress in the certificate program.
  • Students enrolled in EAP on or before January 1, 2026 are not eligible to apply.
Selection

The first 20 applicants who are accepted into the EAP certificate program will receive a travel scholarship to participate in a future EAP Delegation. Awardees will work with the EAP program coordinator to select a Delegation to join.
