It is helpful, but not essential to include at least one letter from someone who is known by UW faculty. Letters should address how the authors envision your role and potential contributions in strengthening global health capacity at your university. They should also comment on your personal strengths and areas in which training and mentoring through the Faculty Scholars Program would be particularly beneficial. Letters from senior leaders at your university should include specific of institutional support that will be provided for you and for development of global health capacity, including support for travel to LMICs.

Curriculum Vitae (CV) is required.

English Proficiency:  An English language proficiency test is not required to participate in the Faculty Scholars Program.  However, as a self-assessment guide, we have listed below the scores that we generally require of our graduate students to be successful in our courses. The test can also be a good tool if you decide you would like to assess your English proficiency.
