In 2019, Campus Food Shed received the 2019-2020 Wisconsin Idea Fellowship, a grant awarded to individuals or group projects working towards addressing a challenge identified along with a local or global community partner.
Fellowships are awarded to semester-long or year-long projects designed by an undergraduate student (or group of students) in collaboration with a community organization and a UW-Madison faculty or academic staff member.
Projects can receive up to $7,000 in total funding and students receive 3 academic credits. Student recipients are also invited to present their work at the Undergraduate Symposium in the spring semester.
