The Upper House Fellows Program is open to current graduate and undergraduate students at UW-Madison. We also consider applications from those who have graduated within the past three years.

Applications for the 2025–26 academic year are accepted on a rolling basis until the start of the fall 2025 semester. If you apply by the priority deadline of May 1 and are accepted to the program, we will make every effort to place you in your first-choice track. Later applications will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis as spots remain available.

After you apply, a Fellows team member will reach out to you to set up a brief interview to learn more about you, talk about your interest in the program, and answer any questions you have.
