Fully Funded Fellowship from Global Health Corps to USA

Global Health Corps is building the next generation of diverse health leaders. We offer a range of paid fellowship roles with health organizations in Malawi, Rwanda, Uganda, the United States, and Zambia and the opportunity to develop as a transformative leader in the health equity movement.

The GHC fellowship is a 13-month paid role with extensive training, leadership formation, and networking opportunities. Fellows bring skills that support capacity gaps at their organizations, allowing them to contribute at higher levels than interns. However, they are not employees, and their professional growth is a key purpose of the fellowship year. This emphasis on their training is reflected by the time-bound nature of the role and by the fact that fellows receive a living stipend, not a salary.

Benefits:

In addition to the intensive leadership development and professional growth that the fellowship offers, the Global Health Corps fellowship includes the following benefits:

• Monthly living stipend.
• Award of $1500 upon successful completion of the fellowship year.
• Housing.
• Insurance.
• Support in applying for visas and/or work permits, as necessary.
• Travel costs covered to and from placement site, GHC training and retreats.
• Professional development funds of up to $600.
