The 2024 William T. Grant Scholars Program supports professional development of promising early-career researchers. The grant funds 5-year research and mentoring plans that significantly expand researchers’ expertise in new disciplines, methods, and content areas to address problems of inequality or to improve the use of research evidence.

Applicants should have a record of conducting high-quality research and an interest in shifting their trajectories as researchers.

UW–Madison applicants must be nominated by their division or school. The School of Education (SoE) will hold an internal competition to select one candidate to nominate for this prestigious research award.

Applications for SoE Internal Review are due May 10, 2024. To submit your application, attach a single PDF to an email to Lauren Meyers, lauren.meyers@wisc.edu.
