The Office of Merit Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards and the Graduate School Office of Fellowships & Awards are hosting a series of virtual sessions for students this fall aimed at improving access to fellowships and scholarships. Please share this announcement widely with students.

Removing barriers to scholarships & fellowships

A series of virtual panels and sessions for students to improve access to funding

Fellowships and scholarships are part of our education system that often reflects and supports inequity. Many scholarship programs are attempting to address inequities, yet layers of institutional racism, classism and implicit bias persist and prevent full access to funding opportunities. This series will suggest strategies for navigating all aspects of the application process.

First-generation students, students of color, and students who identify as underrepresented within the university are particularly encouraged to attend, as are any students who would like to learn about applying for fellowships and scholarships.

The ASUW Office of Government Relations and the U.S. Census Bureau will be hosting an information session about the 2020 Census to let the UW community know about what the Census is, why it is important, and how to make sure that students get counted! Over 10 billion dollars in federal funding is allocated based on Census results which is why it is critical to make an all-campus effort to ensure that the U-District is properly represented, as college students are historically undercounted in the Census.

We are hoping for attendees to be able to walk away being knowledgeable about the 2020 Census and encourage their organizations and communities to participate.

The info session will take place on Tuesday, March 10 in Gowen 301 from 7-8pm. We will have banh mi, spring rolls, and other snacks available for participants!

For anyone who is interested in attending or getting more information, please fill out this RSVP form tinyurl.com/asuwcensus

Hope to see you there!

We are currently recruiting volunteer health professional students for the 2019-2020 UW Student Hotspotting Program.

“Hotspotting” is an inter-professional, collaborative process of identifying high utilizers in our healthcare system and working closely with them to better address patient needs with the goals of improving quality of care and reducing costs. This famous 2011 New Yorker piece and video by Frontline illustrate the origin and concept of “hotspotting” and are a must-read/watch for any health professional student.

The UW Student Hotspotting Team is made up of around 6 health professional students and guided by Alexandra Molnar, M.D. (UWMC, HMC, UWSOM). Each year, the Hotspotting team identifies and enrolls “high utilizer” patients from within our UW Medicine system who are likely to benefit from additional support. Throughout the program, students will have the opportunity to attend patient appointments, make home visits, interact with providers, and ultimately discover creative solutions to individual patient needs. Hotspotting is a rewarding program that allows students to see first-hand the barriers that our patients face despite having phenomenal providers involved in their care.

If you are interested in learning more about the program, some of the 2018-2019 team members will be hosting an informational session on Wednesday February 5th, 2020 from 2:30pm-3:20pm in HSE E-216. If you are interested but unable to attend the info session, please email us (see below) so that we can follow up with you individually.

We are recruiting for the 2019-2020 team and are looking for students from the following programs: medicine, nursing, social work, nutrition, nurse practitioner, pharmacy, physical therapy and occupational therapy. The program typically runs 8-9 months, from ~July/August through the following March.

Thanks and hope to see you at our meeting!

2018-2019 UW Student Hotspotting Team
