The R. Hunter Simpson Global Service Learning Fellowship gives nursing students the opportunity
to pursue meaningful service learning and immersion experiences in health care and society
in cultures different from their own. While international experiences are a top priority,
cross-cultural immersion experiences that address global health disparities for individuals,
families, and communities in this country are also eligible.
The student applicant identifies and proposes an independent service learning and immersion
experience and identifies a faculty sponsor in the School of Nursing for two credits of
independent study. The Simpson Global Service Learning Fellowship provides $5,000 to be
used to pay travel expenses, supplies, and other costs directly associated with the proposed
global service learning experience. The applicant must be a matriculated student at the
University of Washington School of Nursing when applying and while subsequently undertaking the
proposed experience during that calendar year.
The School of Nursing is grateful to the Simpson family for catalyzing innovative student
service learning.
