Fellowships
The UWM Graduate School offers a number of competitive fellowships, including the Distinguished Graduate School Fellowship (DGSF) and Advanced Opportunity Program (AOP) Fellowships, which are open to graduate students in art history. Nominations for these fellowships are made by the faculty. Applicants to the program are invited to request that the faculty consider their nomination for a DGSF or AOP Fellowship as part of the application process but may be required to submit additional letters of recommendation for this purpose. The faculty’s nomination decisions are made in January. Questions about these opportunities should be directed to Kay Wells, Director of Graduate Studies (wellsk@uwm.edul).

Eighteen academic-year Distinguished Graduate Student Fellowships (DGSFs) are awarded annually to exceptional UWM graduate students. Awards are for full-time study only. In addition, fellows benefit from full coverage of resident instructional fees at the basic graduate level, a remission of the out-of-state portion of the tuition (if applicable), low-cost comprehensive health insurance and other benefits.
