Each year, La Follette School students partner with public, nonprofit, and private sector organizations to address real-world challenges. These partnerships provide research and analytic support to organizations and practical experience for La Follette students.
Previous client organizations include local, state, federal, and international government agencies, universities, international and Wisconsin-based non-profit organizations, and the private sector among others.

Potential client organizations submit project proposals via the form below. First-time applicants are encouraged to contact Steve Kulig (This email address is being protected from spambots.

La Follette School faculty select projects based on several criteria which include student interest, clearly stated problem, challenge or opportunity and clearly defined deliverables.
