Overview
The purpose of the GO Health Fellowship is to provide financial assistance to a graduate student, professional student, or medical resident at the University of Washington so that they may gain valuable international fieldwork experience in global health. The funds have been generously provided by donors committed to the education of global health professionals from diverse disciplinary backgrounds.
The Fellowship of up to $4,000 (USD) can be used to support travel costs, including room and board, travel health preparation, travel insurance and/or supplies for a particular global health project. The GO Health Fellowship cannot be used to cover tuition costs, school supplies, conference attendance or other non-project related expenses. Funds can be used for experiences taking place anytime from summer quarter 2022 up to, and including spring quarter 2023.
Applicants will be selected based on the following considerations:
- The strength of the project or experience proposal
- The applicant’s record of academic excellence
- Evidence of promise and commitment to a career in global health
- Demonstrated financial need
Fellowship-specific Eligibility Criteria:
- Participation in a global health-related program or fieldwork experience in an international, resource limited setting relevant to the student’s/trainee’s career goals
- Minimum duration of six weeks abroad
- The project or experience must be at a UW-affiliated international entity (eg. NGO, university, Ministry of Health or other research institution, etc.)
Supporting documentation must include:
- Signed Statement of Commitment from your host organization supervisor
- Letter of Commitment from your University of Washington faculty mentor
- Copy of your current resume/CV
- Recent “unofficial” copy of your University of Washington transcript.
