Guidelines for International Visiting Scholars

The University of Washington School of Nursing welcomes visiting scholars who wish to observe, study, and conduct research for up to one year in collaboration with nursing faculty. Visiting scholars bring new cultural and professional perspectives that contribute to the ongoing education of faculty, students, and staff.

Your appointment as a visiting scholar provides limited university privileges and access to facilities. Unfortunately the University of Washington does not have the resources to contribute any financial aid toward your visit as a scholar. All expenses must be sustained by you as the visitor, including travel, accommodations, long distance calls (including FAX transmissions), parking, photocopying, supplies, secretarial services, statistical consultation, and costs such as computer costs for research or data analysis. The following is further information that may be helpful in applying for and planning your stay as a visiting scholar.
