Interest on these loans accrues while the student is in school. Short-term loans are available on a limited basis to assist in emergency situations. Students must be currently enrolled and repay the loan within the term it was borrowed. A limited number of scholarships are available from departments on campus. They are awarded for academic excellence or outstanding ability in a particular field and most often go to students enrolled a year or more on the Madison campus.
Departmental offices are also a good source of information.
To apply for fellowships as well as fee remissions and assistantships contact your graduate department.
