The Ray E. Brown Fellowship

The Ray E. Brown Fellowship is awarded to one incoming GPHAP student from each of the participating schools. The applicants are considered based on their commitment and passion to the health care field, their demonstrated understanding of the value of interdisciplinary, collaborative approaches, and the student’s ability and willingness to take a leadership role in the program. The Ray E. Brown Recruitment Fellowship application is integrated with the GPHAP application. Students apply for the Ray E. Brown Recruitment Fellowship at the time they apply for GPHAP.

Serving as a Brown Fellow is another opportunity to engage in an interdisciplinary way with students from the other schools that participate in GPHAP.  Each cohort of Brown Fellows works together to plan a series of three events for the GPHAP community. These events could be panel discussions, single speaker events, or some other activity for GPHAP students. The first event is in the Spring Quarter of the student’s first year, and the second and third events would be in the Fall and Winter Quarters of the second year. The Brown Fellows would be the first ones contacted by the GPHAP Director to ask questions about student availability, or to answer other questions about student life at the various schools participating in GPHAP. The stipend for Brown Fellows is $1000, with the first half paid in the Spring Quarter of the first year, and the second half paid in the second the Spring Quarter of the second year.
