Be sure to check with your program for individual policies and restrictions related to funding.<\/p>\n<h4>Program Resources<\/h4>\n<p>There are three mechanisms for Graduate Student funding through the university for Mechanical Engineering PhD students:<\/p>\n<ol>\n\t<li>Fellowships<\/li>\n\t<li>Graduate assistantships: project assistantships, teaching assistantships, and research assistantships<\/li>\n\t<li>Traineeships<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Funding is awarded based on the qualifications of the student, the number of applicants, the amount of available funding, and the number of continuing students receiving support. You can apply for funding for research assistantships by contacting individual faculty members directly. Please check our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/directory.engr.wisc.edu\/me\/faculty\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>\u00a0to look for faculty (only those listed with titles of assistant professor, associate professor, or professor can serve as graduate student advisors). Search for faculty who have <a href=\"https:\/\/engineering.wisc.edu\/departments\/mechanical-engineering\/research\/\">research interests<\/a> that align closely with your own by viewing faculty directory entries, visiting the faculty\u2019s website (linked from the directory page), and reviewing publications by the faculty member. Once you have identified faculty with interests close to your own, you are encouraged to contact them by email to inquire regarding available research assistant positions. The admissions office does not know if a particular professor has research assistant positions available.<\/p>\n<p>Students who apply to the department will be automatically considered for fellowship opportunities within the department. Admitted students will be eligible to apply for Teaching Assistantship positions. More information, including the application, will be available to students after admission is complete.<\/p>\n<h4>Additional Resources<\/h4>\n<h5>Student Loans<\/h5>\n<p>Students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents may be eligible to receive some level of funding through the federal direct loan program.\u00a0Private loans may also be available.\u00a0Learn more about financial aid at the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/financialaid.wisc.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">Financial Aid website<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h5>International Student Services Funding and Scholarships<\/h5>\n<p>For information on International Student Funding and Scholarships visit the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iss.wisc.edu\/students\/new-students\/funding-scholarships\/\" target=\"_blank\">International Student Services\u00a0website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                                    <div class=\"accordion-item overflow-hidden\">\r\n                        <h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"accordion-block_d29389086563c35598c586b41cb308f3-heading-3\">\r\n                            <button class=\"accordion-button fs-4  collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#accordion-block_d29389086563c35598c586b41cb308f3-collapse-3\"  aria-expanded=\"false\"  aria-controls=\"accordion-block_d29389086563c35598c586b41cb308f3-collapse-3\">\r\n                                Research                            <\/button>\r\n                        <\/h2>\r\n                        <div id=\"accordion-block_d29389086563c35598c586b41cb308f3-collapse-3\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-block_d29389086563c35598c586b41cb308f3-heading-3\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-block_d29389086563c35598c586b41cb308f3\">\r\n                            <div class=\"accordion-body\">\r\n                                <p>Global industry partners and U.S. government agencies (like the Department of Energy, National Institutes of Health, and the National Science Foundation) entrust Badger engineers to design and conduct complex research into a wide range of theoretical and practical questions.
